Flickr to enter Hong Kong market

Flickr's on the move boys and girls. After debuting a new Collections feature, Yahoo's darling photo community has announced plans to release a Hong Kong version using traditional Chinese characters. The new site will contain all the same features of the wildly popular English version, which is probably a good move since the BBC's numbers put China at the second-largest online market with 137 million users.

As a move to "localise and increase the accessibility of its websites, especially in Asia," this seems like a great first step for one of Yahoo's arguably most popular services. Still, after nearly two years since Yahoo bought Flickr, it seems like there is still quite a ways to go with integrating the service on the home front.
