Yahoo Sends PhotoMail

By

Are you an avid digital photographer who likes sharing photos with everyone, anywhere? Well Yahoo’s new PhotoMail service (currently in testing) may have you saying “cheese” quite a bit.

PhotoMail works by placing small thumbnail pictures in messages and storing the actual large photo files on a server of the Yahoo Photo online album service, says Andy Spillane, vice president of Yahoo Mail. Up to 300 thumbnails can be inserted in a Yahoo Mail message. When recipients click on a thumbnail, the original file residing on a Yahoo server is launched, so that a high-resolution version of the photo can be viewed, printed, or saved, Spillane says.
