Flickr Adds Photo Printing

It seems that Flickr has added the ability to print photos. It doesn't come as a shock since Yahoo recently buddied up with Target to offer photo printing. I had been a fan of using Walmart to print my pictures - cheap and easy - but Flickr's prices are now pretty comparable to Walmart.

Flickr also gives many more options in the sizes of the photo such as a 4xD photo. The "D" sizes are more suited for digital camera pictures so there's no extra cropping of your already lopped off heads. I've put together a little comparison and included SmugMug since I'm thinking of using either them or Flickr. Though Flickr now has an extra plus for them because I can pick up my photos at Target and don't have to pay for shipping - or wait for them.
