Flickr gets major redesign with grid UI, users get 1TB of free storage (video)

A formal celebration of Yahoo's acquisition of Tumblr wasn't what the internet outfit had up its sleeve for this evening's festivities. An update to Flickr has been unveiled at the NYC event with a host of new features that includes a retooled grid UI built out of images and user storage of up to 1TB for free. Yahoo is saying that the advertised storage space is enough room to stash 537,731 "full-resolution" photos per user. On the desktop side, Photostreams and Sets are cleaned up in proper grid fashion as well and a share button rests up top for easy sharing to Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, email and, of course, Tumblr. Viewing a single photo will now display a full-screen view while the size options and white background have been nixed for the extra real estate. The redesign is also coming to mobile devices on iOS and Android. In fact, the Android update should be available in the Play store as early as tonight. As far as Pro members are concerned, the subscription details remain the same. Take a look at the "Biggr" photos in the video walk through on the other side of the break.
