Yahoo Photos Dies After Many Long Years of Service

Yahoo Photos was a pioneer launching its services in March of 2000, with unlimited space and easy upload features connecting users profiles and photos...it was an instant hit. On March 29th, 2005 the Yahoo Photo presence grew even stronger with the purchase of flickr photo community. In May of 2007, Yahoo began to hint that they were abandoning the project for a bigger venue. In the beginning of June current users became unable to upload new photos, and new members could not sign up. Yahoo sent out notices 6/16/2007 that it is killing the Yahoo Photos portion of your Yahoo user account.

> You have 3 options with your pictures.

1. Not to worry, you can easily move your pics to either flickr; shutterfly; Kodak Gallery; photobucket; or snapfish. I suggest if this is stuff you want searched that you move it to flickr, this article here describes the new process Yahoo is using to index 300 million flickr photos.
2. Download them from your Yahoo Favorites Folder.
3. Order your pictures on a CD from englaze 700mb for 6.95 USD this is hundreds of pictures depending on the size of the files. (1.99 S&H USA /Int. 4.99 and up). You can even create a custom CD label for it!

Ok so you have until September 20Th, 2007 to figure it out. There was no information readily available, but I suspect for continued Yahoo features to share photos the natural move choice would be flickr.
