The use of AJAX technology allows for easy drag and drop organization and sharing, virtual albums, tagging, search, and smart albums.

- DEMO Says
- Photo sharing and management is a perennial topic at DEMO. With each year, we see the state of the art advancing, yet ease of use continues to be a hurdle to mass adoption of online photo applications. Yahoo’s offering takes a giant leap forward, delivering desktop-like functionality, ease and performance in an online application. And the integration with other Yahoo services provides more value overall.
