Product Description
Bringing the best of Web 2.0 to online photo sharing, the new Yahoo! Photos delivers the power and elegance of desktop photo management software to the “anywhere” access of the Web. The Web’s most trafficked online photos destination will soon offer features synonymous with a desktop application to anyone with an internet connection. The use of AJAX technology allows for easy drag and drop organization and sharing, virtual albums, tagging, search, and smart albums.
Market Opportunity
According to comScore Media Metrix, approximately 165 million people use online photo sharing services per month (November 2005). Yahoo! Photos is the No. 1 online photo destination with the largest number of unique monthly visitors in the world.
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.
