Photo sharing website from Yahoo!

Yahoo! Photos today unveiled an entirely new photo sharing experience. The limited beta launch of the all new Yahoo! Photos marks the most dramatic upgrade to the product since Yahoo! Inc. initially launched the service in 2000. Designed to make it easier for people to enjoy and share their growing photo collections with family and friends, the new Yahoo! Photos is a Web-based product that offers desktop-like functionality including drag-and-drop organization, tagging, comments and advanced search capabilities. The new Yahoo! Photos is a next generation service that introduces innovations from the Yahoo! Network like tagging, search, and comments. Brad Garlinghouse, Yahoo!’s senior vice president of communications, community and front doors added “The new Yahoo! Photos will change the way millions of people enjoy their pictures. The new features and redesigned interface make photo management more efficient so people spend less time maintaining their collections and more time viewing and sharing them with family and friends.” New community-based features foster greater user interaction in ways that weren’t possible before, including the ability to comment, rate and tag family and friends’ photos. People can now exchange comments on shared pictures, add tags to help organize each other’s photos, and rate them for simple searching. Also, deep integration across the Yahoo! network, including Yahoo! Mail, Messenger, Mobile and 360, gives users a universally accessible location where they can view photos that family and friends have shared. [/TAGS]
