SUMMARY

To create a Flickr account, users must have a Yahoo email address. This requirement is part of Yahoo's strategy to integrate its services, including Tumblr and Flickr. Attempts to register with non-Yahoo email providers, such as AOL, will result in an error message indicating the necessity of a Yahoo email. This policy has been confirmed by multiple users in the discussion.

Is it absolutely imperative to have a yahoo email to create an account on the photo sharing website flickr?

I never cared for yahoo's email service and think that it's silly that I'm being forced to create an account there in order to join tumblr.

There isn't any way around this?

Where did you hear of this rule?

I tried creating an account there using my aol mail account but it says that I have to use yahoo email.

Go there and see for yourself.

Sounds like yahoo is trying to connect all their owned services together
