In a move which is the first of what will probably be many Yahoo services integrated into MyBlogLog, the blog analytics and social networking hybrid acquired by Yahoo earlier this month, Flickr photos have been added to MyBlogLog profiles.
The Flickrization of MyBlogLog has begun as Yahoo is adding a Flickr Photostream page to the MyBlogLog profile of those users.
One such example is the account of Graywolf (Michael Gray). If you look under his profile pic there is a link to “View Pics” which leads to his Pictures page.
Users seem to be given the option of adding their Flickr pages as my profile has a link to “View/Add Pics”.
Are we going to see further integration of Yahoo services under MyBlogLog? You better believe it.
Expect the following to roll out by Q2:
* Del.icio.us style bookmarking and sharing
* MyBlogLog blog RSS feed aggregation (thinking a social networked version of Google Reader)
* Enhanced analytics (maybe a free version of the current paid option) to boost blogger adoption.

Just enabled it.
It’s a manual step unfortunately. Having your Flicker ID in your profile and made public is not automatically enabling it.
You must click on the link beneath your avatar where it states the number of pictures and you will see flicker as additional option to the image upload that did exist before.
