Hi Yahoo users,
A notification for one and all --- 
| Quote: |
"Yahoo Inc. is shutting down Yahoo Photos, its first-generation photo storage site, and asking users to move instead to Yahoo's Web 2.0 photo sharing site, Flickr, a Yahoo official said on Thursday."
In next month, tens of millions of registered users of Yahoo Photos will be notified of various options including upgrading to Yahoo's Flickr service or various outside-photo storage sites, according to Flickr co-founder Stewart Butterfield.
Yahoo also will offer consumers the option of loading their photos on competing sites when users are notified by next month. |

Yahoo to Shut Yahoo Photos Service and Pushing to Flickr Good for them. I don't trust Yahoo anyway, and never trusted. Not necessarily anti-Yahoo but... just not associated with it... and don't care.

Please review the following Quote and link specified
BBC news stated as follows:

"Flickr to require Yahoo usernames -"
Users of the popular photo-sharing site Flickr are upset with the announcement that customers must use Yahoo IDs to log-in from 15 March. |
For more information Please check out in the BBC web | Quote: |
Yahoo Photos will be shut down by the fall. Users will be directed over a three-month period to transfer their images to Flickr or other photo sites such as Shutterfly, Kodak Gallery, Snapfish or Photobucket. Yahoo says it will make the transition easy, with a one-click transfer process.
Yahoo has said that it kept both services going after the acquisition because they appealed to different audiences. But Thursday, it said in a statement that Yahoo Photos was closing because of the changing nature of the Internet. |

Aw, I like Yahoo Photos though. It was just sort of...plain and simple. It's always been. I don't care too much for flickr.
Wasn't Flickr sold to Google?
These shifts and mergers on the internet. . I wonder if they'll lead to better .. or worse.

Oh Strange thing....!
Being a Indian never used Yahoo photoes... Typical " Sweta - Anshu "
I think Picasa from Google is good and very easy to maintain.......
