+Yahoo has integrated Flickr images into Yahoo Image Search via the live photostream feeds that Flickr utilizes. This means that image results returned by Yahoo Image Search happen in realtime.
+
+Rather than indexing Flickr content, Yahoo has leveraged Flickr's existing features to provide not just image results but links to Flickr users photostreams along with the live results.
+
+Although Flickr has been integrated with Yahoo's main search to provide thumbnails for popular landmarks and more, this if the first time Yahoo has done a large scale integration of Flickr images into its search properties. 
+
+It also give Yahoo Images an advantage over Google's competing service since, while Google is indexing images from Flickr, Yahoo has live results via the feed. With Flickr users uploading around 1 million files a day, that's a pretty healthy gain for Yahoo Image Search.
+
+Additionally, as Search Engine Journal [points out][2], Flickr users frequently delete images which makes Google's indexing somewhat less reliable than the live photostream search.
+
+Yahoo has also added the ability to search by Flickr User ID in the Yahoo Image Search Box if you're looking to find a specific person's photos.
+
+Also note that the Flickr images now in Yahoo Image results are limited to those marked as "Safe".
