Yahoo!’s Image Search announced that it will now include Flickr’s 300 million+ image and user database in its index. Photos drawn from Flickr will be linked to individual Flickr usernames, to allow searchers to find photos not just of a particular subject but also by a particular user.
Yahoo!, which acquired Flickr’s parent company Ludicorp Research and Development in March 2005, is attempting to revamp many of the features and services provided by the website in order to compete with the market leader, Google.
For Yahoo! image users this feature will likely prove to be convenient, especially given Flickr’s great popularity. The consolidation of image search and Flickr is yet further evidence that Yahoo continues to clean up their internal organization.
