PR NewsWire Smile and Say Cheese! Yahoo! Clubs Introduces Photo Albums -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Yahoo! Clubs Members Can Now Share Photos Online SANTA CLARA, Calif., Jan. 19 /PRNewswire/ -- Yahoo! Inc. today announced the introduction of photo albums for Yahoo!(R) Clubs ( clubs.yahoo.com ), Yahoo!'s online community building service. Yahoo! Clubs allows individuals to create their own personal Web communities using message boards, chat, e-mail and personalization tools. The new photo albums feature gives users another level of interactivity, by allowing members and founders to share their favorite photos with the rest of their online community club members. "Since its launch, Yahoo! Clubs has grown to be one of Yahoo!'s most popular community services. We continue to enhance the service to meet users' needs and make it even more personal and interactive for them," said Mark Hull, producer of Yahoo! Clubs. "With the new photo albums feature, individuals can now share visual images as well as messages and opinions with other club members. The photo albums help club members build relationships with each other in a deep and rich community." Hey! Check This Out! Using the photo album feature, members can share images that are of importance or interest to the club such as a family's first photos of their new baby or a fan's collection of photos of a favorite celebrity. Adding photos to a club is easy. Club members simply need to click on the Photo Album link within a club and follow the easy instructions for creating a photo album and uploading electronic photos from their desktop. Yahoo! Clubs also allows users to point to photos on the Web and add those links to their club photo album. Only club members (those who have registered to join a club) are able to view and add to the club photo albums. Club guests are free to browse non-member areas of Yahoo! Clubs and simply need to join a club to participate in club chats, post messages, view club news and stock portfolios, access the calendar and add photos to the photo album. Joining Yahoo! Clubs is free -- users need only to register for Yahoo! Clubs or any of Yahoo!'s other free member services such as instant messaging, e-mail, online games, travel reservations and ticketing, shopping and auctions. Official Clubs and Exclusive Photos of Favorite Celebrities, Musical Artists With the addition of the photo album feature, fans are now able to see photos of their favorite artists and celebrities in Yahoo!'s official clubs. Exclusive, never-before-seen photos of Capitol Records' pop-sensations "The Moffats" are available at the newly-formed official Moffats club ( clubs.yahoo.com ).
