Yahoo! Photos

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Yahoo! Photos is the flagship photo sharing service of Yahoo!, designed specificaly for Yahoo! users. The service has unlimited storage for photos, but it is required that photos have the jpeg/jpg extension.

Users create individual photo albums, categorize their photos and place them in the corresponding albums. Users are also able to set access of their albums by publishing them for the viewing pleasure of everyone, disabling access of them, or even marking them as private folders for your own viewing. In an effort to make it simpler and more efficient, Yahoo has an uploader tool to drag and drop the pictures from your computer to your Yahoo! Photos web page.

On Yahoo! Photos a user is permitted to batch their pictures and customize folders with stationary. Also, users have access to certain features like ordering prints, creating books, calendar and personal stamps.

The pictures that are stored on Yahoo! Photos can also be shared with Yahoo! 360° friends, appear on My Yahoo! pages, be shown via Yahoo! Messenger or be displayed on your desktop with Yahoo! Widgets.

About a year ago, Yahoo bought Flickr, an online community to share and discuss personal photos and montages. Some have even gone so far as to anticipate Yahoo! Photos and Flickr to be merged in the near future.

Yahoo! Photos can now also be viewed on a television for persons using newly upgraded software in the TiVo Series2 setup box[1].

A new version of Yahoo! Photos, as well as a public API, iwas released in the middle of year 2006.

Yahoo Photos opened internal API. This API allows for a partner to get an access to photos storage and work with customer’s photos if a customer allowed the access to photos. Since that Yahoo Photos extended a number of services with partners’ services.

Yahoo! Backupr one of these services. It allows getting your albums as a CD or a DVD disk. It has a customizable CD/DVD label and CD/DVD case print materials.

Yahoo! Photos has been updated, as of January 14, with new features, including free full-resolution downloads from ISPs that have partnerships with Yahoo.[[1]]
