News About Photo Sharing on Yahoo!7

We know some of you have been frustrated lately with problems sharing your Yahoo!7 Photos on Yahoo!7 360°. A couple folks even contacted us directly, pointing out that they switched to Flickr and found it much more satisfying. Others wrote in, wondering why we had two photo sharing services -- isn't one enough? By focusing on a single photo service, they reasoned, wouldn't it make life easier for us all by doing one thing (and doing it really, really well)?

Well, as you may have heard, Yahoo!7 Photos is shutting its doors soon. And in the process, we’re making it easy for people to move their pictures from photos.yahoo.com to other photo sharing sites, including Flickr. This also now includes the Flickr transition for people who use international versions of Yahoo!7 Photos (especially since we’ve also recently launched Flickr in seven languages).

If you already have a Flickr account, you know that Flickr makes it easy to manage and share your photos. It also gives you lots of ways to find and explore interesting pictures from the Flickr community. And if you prefer to share your photos only with friends and family, Flickr offers a number of privacy controls.

If you don't already have a Flickr account, now is a great time to set one up. We think the Yahoo!7 Photos users who choose Flickr are going to have fun with it (and will enjoy being part of the Flickr community). If you want to share pictures with your friends on Yahoo!7 360°, I'd recommend using Flickr. It's easy. Really easy.

If you don’t currently use Yahoo!7 Photos or Flickr, set up an account and upload photos on Flickr. For both U.S. and international Yahoo!7 Photos users, here’s how to move your photos to Flickr:

NOTE: These are instructions for existing Yahoo!7 Photos users:
* Go to http://closing.photos.yahoo.com/au/index_intl.php
* Click “Move my photos to Flickr” (or for international users, click the “Get Started” button)
* After you receive the confirmation e-mail that your photos have been moved successfully, go to http://www.flickr.com and log in with your Yahoo!7 ID

For more information about the closure of Yahoo!7 Photos, or help with moving your Photos account to Flickr, visit: http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/photos/photos2/closing

Updating Your Creative License

Remember how fun it was the first time you created your Yahoo!7 360°page?

Like Picasso with a mouse, you sat down in front of that blank screen (OK, maybe we started you with a loose template). Then you started moving this here, that there, adding this, removing that. Next thing you knew, you had your own little masterpiece. It was your corner of the Web, reflecting your personality — and what’s important to you and the people in your life.

Well, a lot has changed in your world since you first created that page. So it’s probably time to take a fresh look at your Yahoo!7 360° page — and what you’re sharing with others. Not to mention rethinking the look and feel of the page itself.

For inspiration, a great place to start is our spotlight of interesting pages on Yahoo!7 360°, a compilation of other people’s pages. You might see something you like. Also check out your friends' pages for revelations you might not have considered. Then dig in and play around with all the possibilities. (You might be surprised with all you can do.)

So consider your creative license now officially renewed. And be sure to comment here on pages you like and about tips for making your page fresh and innovative.
