Washington: Flickr is set to get a makeover as its CEO Marissa Mayer is planning a major overhaul of the website to make it relevant again.
Insisting that the company wants to make the social media website “awesome again,” Mayer suggested a slick redesign and a terabyte of photo storage for every user which will allow the site to store more than 500,000 photos.
The move marked the beginning of Flickr’s attempts at a turnaround since Mayer became the CEO in 2012. She also put Bernardo Hernandez, a 43 year old former Google employee and a native of Spain, in charge of the site shortly after she announced her decision to redesign the website.
Hernandez said the overhaul will happen in about a year and will include a string of product updates. However, he refused to give specific details of the plan.
