To gain Marissa Mayer's attention, who has recently been appointed as the CEO of Yahoo, the Internet has requested her to 'make Flickr awesome again'.
A website called DearMarissaMayer.com started a campaign with the hope that maybe Yahoo will listen to their plea and divert their focus towards Flickr for a while.

The website is created by Sean Bonner, an entrepreneur from Los-Angeles; he has also created a Twitter hashtag that has gone pretty viral, specially by those who really wanna see a better and overhauled Flickr.
Here's what Bonner shared with Mashable:
"I've always loved Flickr since the beginning. After Yahoo bought them, they abandoned it, and it’s been falling apart and neglected ever since. I’m hopeful that Marissa Mayer could be a catalyst for change. I didn’t have her email address, so this was as great way to sound the bullhorn."
The best part about this campaign is that Flickr responded to this campaign, they created a new page on Flickr, which said: 'Dear Internet, come help us make Flickr awesomer."
Do notice the Flickr jobs link in the page!
Bonner was undoubtedly thrilled with the response, here's what he tweeted:

Let's just hope that Marissa Mayer does make an effort to hire new people for Flickr and make it awesomer. :)
