Yahoo to launch Chinese version of Flickr

genImage.jpeg Yahoo plans on launching a Chinese language version of its popular photo-sharing site Flickr.com, to tap demand from Chinese digital photo enthusiasts. "The HK traditional Chinese interface of Flickr will be available later this year," a Hong Kong-based spokeswoman said in an email to Reuters.

"The new Web site will target Hong Kong users and will offer all core features currently available on the English platform, the spokeswoman said, without elaborating."
