Flickr has arrived (Part 2)

Hello again My Yahoo! photo fanatics,

Now that you’ve read the first Flickr blog post, set up your account and filled it with pictures, you can explore more of what the module has to offer.

One of the coolest features in this new Flickr module is called “Activity.” After selecting this tab, you’ll see when other people comment on your photos along with your own commenting history. You get to enjoy reading comments about your photos without ever having to leave your My Yahoo! page. Talk about convenient!

If you want to check out great photos from around the world, try the “Interestingness” or “Everyone’s Photos” options. These two options will showcase Flickr’s finest on your My Yahoo! page. Read more about “Interestingness” on the Flickr site.

Enjoy!

My Yahoo!, My New Music.

Ever hear a song and think, “Hmm, never heard that one before?” Well, with these great feeds you can transform your My Yahoo! page into a gateway to the world of new music.

One of the best ways you can learn about hot new music is to tune into what other musicians are listening to. The Sound Opinions module features famous and other not-so well known artists playing their own tunes and songs that they enjoy themselves.

Hip hop changes constantly with new mixes and artists. About.com’s Rap/Hip-Hop module gives you a solid source of news and reviews oriented more towards the casual listener who just wants to keep up with the latest sounds.

Pitchfork Media is one of the most famous sites for following the always-changing realm of Indie Rock. With their module you’ll get clever, opinionated reviews covering pop, experimental, country, and dance music – and the reviews appear at lightning speed.

Most of these sites focus on Western music. For more on world music, try the Sound Roots module. It’s a great blog that covers music from around the globe, even from Africa and Indonesia. Expand your ears with instruments like the aponga or the charango!

Eldercare help on your page.

Hi everyone,

I recently realized that with My Yahoo!, there is almost no limit to the kinds of content you can get on your page.

Are you starting to care for your parents? Feeling the pressures of helping with health-care, housing, transportation, and legal matters? It can be stressful, but the Caring.com module will bring you expert tips, anecdotes, health updates and more, all in one module.

Once you add the Caring.com module you’ll feel like you have your own personal expert there to answer your questions.

Try it out!

Flickr has arrived! (Part 1)

Hi there My Yahoo! photo fanatics,

A few months ago, I created a Flickr account so I could share my photos with family and friends. Now, with the new Flickr module, I start my day with pictures of my nephew when I open my My Yahoo! page.

I hope you’re as excited as I am about this new Flickr module. In order to see your photos, be sure to first set up a free Flickr account. Once you’ve done this, the Flickr module will stream your photos right onto your page. Then, click on any thumbnail image to view as a larger photo and even as a slideshow!

This module is jam-packed with cool features such as “Everyone’s Photos,” “Interestingness,” and a Flickr activity tracker. Check back here on the blog for Part 2 to get more information and tips on how to get the most out of the Flickr module. In the meantime get those Flickr accounts uploaded with photos!
