Bye Bye Yahoo Photos
Yahoo Photos will be closed down soon in favor of the more social Flickr, a service acquired by Yahoo in 2005. This will be announced tomorrow and the actual closure will be some time in the next few months.
Yahoo Photos users that will wish to transfer the photos to Flickr will have the opportunity to do this easily. You will also be able to export to a number of popular photo hosting websites like PhotoBucket or Snapfish.
Although Flickr hosts 3 times less pictures than Yahoo Photos at this time, it’s rapidly growing and already reached the Yahoo Photos traffic.
Flickr will probably start hosting videos also soon. Too bad, the Flickr brand was all about photography, not just another YouTube wannabe.
