By TechTaffy Desk

flickr_yahoo Yahoo is giving Flickr users one terabyte of space — for free — enough space for more than 500,000 full-resolution photos. Flickr has also got a design update with an endlessly scrolling gallery, and a new slideshow that displays Flickr photos in full-screen.

Marissa Mayer (CEO, Yahoo): When it comes to photography, technology and its limits shouldn’t hinder the experience.

Yahoo has also launched a new version of the Flickr app for Android phones and tablets. [Image courtesy: Yahoo] You may also be interested in:
