Yahoo Inc. said on Thursday it has launched an online photo service with Target Corp. that this fall will enable consumers to order prints of their digital pictures for pick up at a Target store. The site, Target Yahoo Photos http://www.target.com/yahoophotos , extends Yahoo's existing online photo site. The new site gives consumers unlimited photo storage and tools for sharing pictures via e-mail and other means. Users will have the option of picking up their photos, printing them at home or having them delivered by mail. Some 1.3 billion pictures were transmitted, or "uploaded," to online photo sites from personal computers in 2004. Leading sites include Eastman Kodak's photo service, privately held Shutterfly, and Snapfish, which was recently bought by printer and computer maker Hewlett-Packard Co., Shutterfly, Snapfish and other online photo developing services mail photos to their customers. Research firm IDC predicts that the so-called Internet-to-retail market is going to double to about $1 billion in 2008.<p />In Internet-to-retail, users upload pictures to Web sites run by such companies as Wal-Mart or Ritz Cameras, which are both powered by Kodak rival Fuji Photo Film Co. Ltd. (4901.T). Elsewhere, Google Inc.'s Picasa photo site allows users to send or order prints from a variety of providers including Snapfish and Wal-Mart. Copyright 2005 Reuters Limited.
