Flickr has arrived (Part 2)

Hello again My Yahoo! photo fanatics,

Now that you’ve read the first Flickr blog post, set up your account and filled it with pictures, you can explore more of what the module has to offer.

One of the coolest features in this new Flickr module is called “Activity.” After selecting this tab, you’ll see when other people comment on your photos along with your own commenting history. You get to enjoy reading comments about your photos without ever having to leave your My Yahoo! page. Talk about convenient!

If you want to check out great photos from around the world, try the “Interestingness” or “Everyone’s Photos” options. These two options will showcase Flickr’s finest on your My Yahoo! page. Read more about “Interestingness” on the Flickr site.

Enjoy!

Flickr has arrived! (Part 1)

Hi there My Yahoo! photo fanatics,

A few months ago, I created a Flickr account so I could share my photos with family and friends. Now, with the new Flickr module, I start my day with pictures of my nephew when I open my My Yahoo! page.

I hope you’re as excited as I am about this new Flickr module. In order to see your photos, be sure to first set up a free Flickr account. Once you’ve done this, the Flickr module will stream your photos right onto your page. Then, click on any thumbnail image to view as a larger photo and even as a slideshow!

This module is jam-packed with cool features such as “Everyone’s Photos,” “Interestingness,” and a Flickr activity tracker. Check back here on the blog for Part 2 to get more information and tips on how to get the most out of the Flickr module. In the meantime get those Flickr accounts uploaded with photos!

Have you ever added a module and said, “This is so cool.”?

You aren’t alone. One of the fun things about working on My Yahoo! is that we get to hear it and say it a lot. We thought we’d pass along two of our favorites…

craigslist Search
Never again will you miss out on a hot Craigslist item. Track that beach rental on your page. It will refresh throughout the day so you don’t miss a thing. To try this from a craigslist results page, click the RSS link at the bottom of the page. Copy the URL from the address bar, and paste it into My Yahoo! (Personalize this page > Add RSS feed > Add).

flickr Photos
Enjoy great photo streams on your page. We especially like Interesting Images and Flickr’s 100 Best. From the “Personalize this page” menu, click “add modules” and then type “flickr” in the search box.

That’s a few to get you started. We’ll be back with more.
