A Terabyte for Free?

Yahoo made some of us Flickr users happy today.  The new front page and the photostream/set views are fantastic, just like contacts and groups before them.  Light Box appears to be the default view now, which is nice because it squashes the old view like a grape.

The huge news is that free accounts now get a terabyte of storage space.  That’s a pretty significant upgrade from the old 200 photos.  I don’t know what limits are in place, although advertising was mentioned.  I want to stay with the pro service because ads suck and I want unlimited space (even though my 26,000 photos are still less than a terabyte.  I just never want to worry about it) and as a net nerd I love having access to the statistics.  

All in all, it is a huge update and it very much gets my approval so far.

Nice job!
