Do you use Yahoo! Photos? Get ready to move your pics! You may have missed the announcement last week. Yahoo! is closing its Yahoo! Photos service in favor of its wildly popular Flickr. Yahoo! Photos users can move their photos over “with a couple clicks” to a number of outfits, although many popular photo printing services are not included in the swap. I found this note from Yahoo! buried in my inbox:

We will officially close Yahoo! Photos on Thursday, September 20, 2007, at 9 p.m. PDT.</strong> Until then, we are offering you the opportunity to move to another photo sharing service (Flickr, KODAK Gallery, Shutterfly, Snapfish, or Photobucket). We’re making the transfer real simple, and with a couple clicks we’ll automatically move your photos to Flickr or wherever you want them. You can also download your original-resolution photos back to your computer, or buy an archive CD from our featured partner (for users of the New Yahoo! Photos only). All you need to do is tell us what to do with your photos before we close, after which any photos remaining on Yahoo! Photos will be deleted and no longer accessible.

Photo print providers not offered include: ClarkColor, dotPhoto, Sony ImageStation, Photoworks, RitzPix, and SmugMug.
