It has finally been confirmed that Flickr has been bought by Yahoo!, after a month or so of endless speculation. The interesting thing is that Flicker features Google AdSense ads on their site. Will Flickr become a beta test site for the new Yahoo Publisher Network (YPN)? It wouldn't make sense for a Yahoo-owned property to continue running AdSense ads when they have their own competing program available.
