Bye bye Yahoo Photos.
Craig May 6th, 2007
Yahoo Photos, currently the largest photo sharing site on the internet, is going to be shut down in favor of Flickr, which Yahoo acquired in 2005.
For users of Yahoo Photos, migrating to Flickr will be a one-click process, however Yahoo are not forcing users to move to Flickr only. Instead, they’ll be giving users the option of Flickr, along with a number of other non-Yahoo owned photo sharing sites, such as Photobucket, Shutterfly or Snapfish.
Yahoo Photos hosts about 2 billion photos, whereas Flickr hosts 500 million. Despite this, Flickr has been growing at a much faster rate, with traffic now exceeding that for Yahoo Photos.
