Flickr was the brainchild of Vancouver, Canada based company known as Ludicorp. The company was originally founded in 2002. But the Flickr was launched in February 2004. Flickr was a by-product of the tools that were originally created for Ludicorp’s game “Neverending”. But the company went along with Flickr as it was proving to be more profitable and abandoned “Neverending”. Flickr was subsequently acquired by Yahoo Inc. in March 2005 and the data was transferred to servers in United States from servers in Canada in June.
