Yahoo! lets you move your photos to Flickr and other services

As you may be aware, Yahoo! has come to the pretty logical conclusion that it's silly to continue maintaining both Flickr and Yahoo! Photos. Given Flickr's popularity, Yahoo! Photos will be closing down.

Yahoo! Photos just got a date on its death certificate: Sept 20th. Starting this week, Yahoo! Photos users will see a new option to move all of their photos over to Flickr with just one click.

Flickr's not for everyone, and it's nice to see that Yahoo! has provided some other options. You can also migrate your photos to other services such as Shutterfly, Kodak Gallery, Snapfish and Photobucket, download them or order an archive on CD.

If anyone's looking for a new place to host their photos (and videos), I really recommend Phanfare Photo: I've been using it for about 4 months now and it is an amazing service with great customer support and painless uploading that you don't have to babysit: http://blog.phanfare.com/2007/05/goodbye-yahoo-photos/

I really like Flickr, pretty easy and very cool features. Thumbs up for the decision, I hate it when people send me links from their Yahoo!Photos, its sooo slow to open the files.
