Bah! Yahoo! To Shut Yahoo! Photos

A fellow blogger, Wilson, told me that Yahoo! is going to shut its free photo album site. I was shocked. I did not get any email notification from Yahoo! and I thought that the email he received was a phishing attempt but apparently not! Check out the news article on Yahoo! News.

This news article was published on 4th May, 2007. So this isn't news to many. How come I did not get any official notification from them? Luckily I read it on Wilson's blog.

I dare not even imagine what would have happened if I did not know about it and then lose all my photos when my account is closed. There are a few hundred images there, mostly photos of lingerie.

According to Wilson, Yahoo wants users to migrate to Flickr. I have a Flickr account but I don't think I want to use it. Perhaps I'm going to use Google's photo album. Google's suite of services has already ruled my life. What is one more?

Well, I am rather pissed off that I have to make this migration of photos one by one. I am already so hard pressed for time, you see. In fact, I had wanted to move my photos because I was not happy with Yahoo! Photos after they upgrade their features. The whole album takes forever to load. Bah!

So now I just have to MAKE time to get this task done. *sigh* DOUBLE SIGH!

Google suite practically takes care of all my needs as well. I have long moved away from yahoo photos and use picasa web for my photo album needs. Their application makes it easy to upload photos to their site.

I will say this, Google has made my Internet needs a one stop shop.
