New Photos features are live: just an FYI, we're not flickr ;)

This morning, we released a big upgrade to the section of site dedicated to photos: your photos, specifically. There are still some bugs, tweaks, and improvements to be made, but we're sure that you will be excited about the enhancements.

First, take a look at the new picture page:
Geotrax train set pic from Christmas time, even though I uploaded this it was my wife who took it. Notice the new features: thumbnails of other photos from your album, tags below the photo (add some if you like, especially if there aren't any!), and also the ability to rate & comment on the photo.

All in all a pretty big improvement, however, the UI still needs some work.

Now, take a look at the new thumbnail page:
thedude's photos...yes, it's me who writes the blog, in case you didn't know. The seperation of the larger browse from the main picture page is a big step forward as well, now you can see all the thumbnails (with pagination at the bottom if they have more) of a particular person's pictures, instead of loading a lot of very small thumbnails on a single page.

As I mentioned in the title of the post, we're not Flickr. Not even close :) However as you can see, we are serious about photos, just as we are about questions. The vision we have for the site is really a juxtaposition of a few larger services in a new, different, and fundamentally revolutionary way.

Stay tuned, you'll be glad you did. Tags: funadvice, flickr, yahooanswers, photos and tags.
