The process of corporate cannibalization continues as it was officially announced that Yahoo will shutdown its image service September 20th and focus all its time/money/effort on Flickr. Similar to what happened to Google Videos and YouTube minus the mess Google made out of that with the "refunds issue," it seems that these huge companies with massive resources still haven't figured out how to be everything to everybody. They'll give it a shot in-house, and then go out and buy a company that does it better. Note to would-be start-ups: figure out what Google/Yahoo don't do well, do it better, and they will buy you!
