Today I was reading Nitesh’s blog and he has posted about the closing date of Yahoo Photos. I logged into my photos account and noticed that Yahoo has put up a huge caption displaying the closing date - 20th September 2007, i.e. 98 days from today.
Yahoo had already announced that it would be closing down Yahoo Photos for Flickr.
Yahoo has given three options for users.
- Users can move their photos to Flickr, Kodak Gallery, Shutterfly, Snapfish and Photobucket. These option can be found on the home page.
- Second option is to download all the photos, but this is suggested if you have a small account with less than 20 photos or so.
- Third option is to order CD which will cost you 6.95$ plus shipping charges.
If you don’t chose between one of the options, all the photos would be deleted by 20th September.
I’m bit confused about where to move my photos. I have a good collection of photos at Flickr and Kodak. So where are you planning to move?
Technorati tags: Yahoo, YahooPhotos
did you know that yahoo photos had unlimited storage but they never mentioned it
.
OOOppppps Now i have to move all my photos to Flickr or Photobucket
Nirmal,I don’t have any photos on any of the above luckily.Pity for you.Choose the first option.It is easy and better.
If yahoo photos is closing down,then Google will bring in something great.
I always wonder what will be google’s next buy.
IMHO, Flickr is the best. I love it
I hope they could have given option for Picasa
I moved to Flickr, Flickr is better option than others i think
@Shankar,
I’m also thinking of moving to Flickr.
@Kanak,
You are right, there should have been an option for Picasa.
I look sad
This was my first photo sharing site I used!!! but I don’t have any worries about the move. Since all I have there is obsolete photos 
It’s really not likely that Yahoo will provide a possiblity to move stuff to Google.
If you have your stuff at FlickR don’t move it, it’s definitly the best place to be.

and btw, i made that move today (from Yahoo to FlickR) and it works like a charm.
@Benedict,
Yahoo photos was the first photo site for me too. I still have lot of good photos there.
@Gili,
I’m also making the move to Flickr.
The first photo site which i used was flickr . You should try it too .
i use photobucket ..never used flicker …which is the best among these
Thank them, atleast they provided an option to move the photos!
