Yahoo readies a Chinese version of Flickr

Yahoo is preparing to launch a Chinese version of the photo-sharing site Flickr. The site will use traditional Chinese characters, will focus on the Hong Kong market and provide most of the same features as the English-language version: Link. No word yet on whether ratting users out to the internet police will be a local bonus offering. (thanks nynthlife)
