Yahoo to shut down photo service, push Flickr

Yahoo Inc is shutting down Yahoo Photos, its first-generation photo storage site, and asking users to move instead to Yahoo’s Web 2.0 photo sharing site, Flickr, a Yahoo official said on Thursday.

In June, tens of milllions of registered users of Yahoo Photos will be notified of various options including upgrading to Yahoo’s Flickr service or various outside-photo storage sites, according to Flickr co-founder Stewart Butterfield.

Yahoo also will offer consumers the option of loading their photos on competing sites when users are notified next month.

These include PhotoBucket, the most popular online photo sharing service among users of social network sites like News Corp’s MySpace or more conventional photo printing and storage site such as Kodak Gallery, Shutterfly Inc or Snapfish, he said.

"Flickr will get top-billing, of course," he said in an interview about the plan to give users mulitple alternatives.

20 killed, 60 injured in twin blasts in Hyderabad

Hyderabad, Aug 25 (PTI) At least 20 persons were killed and nearly 60 injured in two powerful near-simultaneous blasts at a crowded park and a popular eating joint here this evening.

Eight persons died when an explosion ripped through an auditorium in Lumbini Park in the heart of the city when a laser show was on, police said.

Prime Minister Manmohan Singh tonight condemned the bomb blasts in Hyderabad and expressed deep concern.

Chief Minister Y S Rajasekhar Reddy held an emergency meeting with top police officials and soon afterwards rushed to the spot.

The blast occurred at about 7.45 pm when the laser show at Lumbini Park had just started. So powerful was the blast that some of bodies were flung into the air and scattered over the area.

In another blast around the same time at Gokul chat bhandar at Kothi area, at least 12 persons were killed and scores were injured.

The police cordoned off the areas and sounded a red alert across the city and conducted searches at railway stations and bus depots.

The profusely bleeding injured were admitted to Osmania Hospital, Mediciti and other hospitals.

There was confusion about what exactly had caused the explosion at the eatery after initial reports said it was due to a cylinder blast.

However, police suspect that going by the impact and high casualties, it could be triggered by RDX.

The twin blasts today came three months after the powerful explosion at Mecca Masjid here in May last.
