Both Yahoo and Google have updated the photo products “Yahoo Image Search” & “Picasa Web Albums” . Lets take a look at both of them .

Yahoo Image Search results will now contain images incorporated from flickr also . This means that in addition to regular indexed images from the web , the web user will also get results from the 300million images uploaded in flickr . The flickr images would be credited to the photographer along with a link to the other photos taken by the person . I feel it is a good move by Yahoo as this will increase the quality of image searching as well as the results that are generated  .

Google has also made some changes to Picasa Web Albums . Picasa users can now place images contained in there Web album on an online map , the users with whom these images has been shared can now see where the photo was taken using Google Maps and Google Earth . I dont see it as too much useful as users can place there photos anywhere irrespective of where it was taken .
