A fuzzy photo, some estimated engine stats, a projected price range – I’ll take anything I can get when it comes to unreleased automobiles.  But Edmunds.com has created a vehicle review page based on just a name – and not even a name that’s sure to make it into production – which caused one onlooker to wonder if the site was gaming Google.

An email from Yahoo arrived in the inboxes of its Photos service users to remind them of the September 20 shutdown date.

On Monday, I wrote an article noting the demise of both Yahoo Photos and Yahoo Bill Pay.  Little did I know the follow-up would come so soon; users of Musicmatch Jukebox have been told they’ll need to switch to Yahoo Music Jukebox.

Shutting down Yahoo Photos in favor of the popular Flickr service has helped lift Flickr’s market share of photography traffic.

You may not have known this service existed, and even if you did, it’s unlikely that you used it.  At any rate, in Yahoo’s effort to cut back and slim down, Yahoo Bill Pay has become the latest casualty.

Official Google Blog: Put your photos on a map, and Picasa on your phone: A new Picassa option, ‘Map My Photos’ lets you show exactly where you took your favorite snapshots.

When you share an album with friends, they can see your best photos arrayed on a map (or even Google Earth). It’s the perfect way to showcase a memorable road trip or a globe-trotting vacation.

Let’s all say it together: the Internet is a pretty public place.  But not everyone seems to understand that, and now some teens who posted questionable pictures on Facebook have seen those photos resurface in their high school yearbook.

Users of Google’s Picasa Web Albums have a couple of new features available for placing photos on maps, and Picasa on mobile devices.

One of the often overlooked aspects of social media is that it can often be seen a pointer for developing and emerging trends.

Flickr is owned by Yahoo, and now the two operations are closer than ever- photos from Flickr have been integrated into Yahoo Image Search.

Yahoo Photos is dying, but its passing shouldn’t be traumatic – the site’s parent company is doing everything it can to prepare people for the inevitable event.

R.I.P. Yahoo Photos

It’s been five weeks since Yahoo shuttered Yahoo Photos in favor of Flickr. Tuesday, Flickr expanded into 7 new languages, with another possibly on the way.

Peter Cashmore acknowledges that the expansion has been a little slow in coming. There are now several non-English Flickr facsimiles which will compete with the new Flickrs. The real Flickr has 24 million users (!).

We took lots of photos at SMX Advanced. Here’s a selection:

The minor shuffling Yahoo undertook last year saw the formation of three divisions to oversee the company’s operations. Yahoo Network Division head Jeff Weiner explained how it’s going to work.

In June, Yahoo will give up competing with eBay and other auction sites in the US and Canada by shuttering Yahoo Auctions.
