Yahoo! Photos Beta launching today

The beta of Yahoo! Photos is due to launch on Today, around Noon EST/9AM PST. According to TechCrunch if you login to photos.yahoo.com and see “try the new beta” on the top right, just click it to request an invitation. About 10,000 spots will be available in the next week, so make sure you grab yours early. More spots will be made available over the next few weeks, so if you don’t get one tomorrow don’t worry.

Yahoo Photos is the largest online photo site with 30 million unique monthly visitors (compare to Flickr’s 8 million). Flickr is for the early adopters. Yahoo photos used to be for the masses, but a few early adopters may be giving it a try, too.
