Microsoft creating the ultimate ‘Flickr + You Tube’

“Come make Windows Live the best place to share your digital memories! Heard of Flickr? YouTube? How about. Mac? This role will work across the new Windows Live division with teams like Spaces, SkyDrive, Messenger and Hotmail to construct a winning strategy for Microsoft in photo and video sharing.”

That was an exact extract from a job posting in Microsoft. Well, what does it mean? Microsoft is definitely on it’s way to create another Flickr! With such vast resources at their disposal and millions of Winows Live users, they are bound to do it - even better than Flickr!

Just imagine, If they could really promote this with other Live products (which is what they WILL do), they could indeed threaten the existence of iLife even. Anyways, I sincerely hope that they succeed. Another Flickr can never hurt the cyberspace and what’s more? Another Flickr + Youtube at the same place!!

So I’m keeping my fingers crossed for that. Would really like to see what they can come up with. And if they really buy Facebook as well, oh., then Google will have a REAL competitor! I’m not sure about the whole “Microsoft buying Facebook” thing. But I can pretty much assure you that they’ll create this ultimate ‘Flickr + You Tube’!

So what do you think? Will they be able to pull it off?
