Time to Flickr-ize

Yahoo announced that they will be shutting down Yahoo Photos in September, which makes perfect sense given the acquisition of Flickr two years ago. As part of the shuttering, they're allowing users to auto transfer photos to Flickr or three other non-Yahoo photo services.

I transferred all my photos on Sunday, and the process was pretty easy. Photos are tagged as private, so there is the extra step of marking the pics as public if you want the world to see your photos.

Flickr is an amazing service. If you're dabbling in the whole digital photos thing, give it a try. It's easy enough for novices to pickup easily, and powerful enough to offer some pretty cool features if you're a power user.

You can checkout all 4,594 photos I currently have stored there by checking out my public photos here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/thefeeder/

My favorite feature is the bulk management functionalty, being able to present groups of photos in sets, and geo-tagging photos via Yahoo maps.

If you have any photos stored at Yahoo! Photos, make sure you migrate them soon.
