Yahoo photos is closing and I need a new free place to store... I don't like what I have read on the flickr website and don't want to use Yahoo (who runs flickr) anymore anyway... they have constantly rearranged the name of my photos so that almost no photo is labeled accurately.
This was posted to one of the Yahoo groups that I read about 10 days ago. I'm surprised there wasn't any info on Yahoo's site.

SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Yahoo Inc. (Nasdaq:YHOO - news) is shutting down Yahoo Photos, an online photo storage site, and asking users to move instead to its Web 2.0 photo sharing site, Flickr, a Yahoo official said.
In June, tens of millions of registered users of Yahoo Photos will be notified of various options including upgrading to Yahoo's Flickr service or various outside-photo storage sites, according to Flickr co-founder Stewart Butterfield. ========= More information on the news site Those of you who use Yahoo Photos for your pictures, may want to explore the Flickr site or other alternatives ahead of the June announcement.
Note: This notice has nothing to do with YahooGroups Photo section at Y-Groups lists homepages. From the YahooGroups Technical Blog site:
Yeah, I know. It's on my to do list. (I've been working 80 hours a week and doing an hour and a half of PT every night. My to do list is getting a bit long.)
I'll make a concerted effort to get it done Thursday, the first day day off in over a month without a doctor's appointment. :)
