The Tech Giant, Google To Close Location centric photo sharing service Panoramio

Technology giant Google plans to shut down Panoramio, the location—centric photo sharing service that the company used to augment its Google Maps and Google Earth services, in November, a media report said.
Panoramio, the service which Google acquired in 2007, will show its last image on November 4. Google previously tried to shut the service down in 2014. At the time, its users successfully petitioned the company to keep it open, Tech Crunch reported on Saturday.
“Today, with photo upload tools in Google Maps and our Local Guides programme, we are providing easy options for you to share your photos with an active and growing community. As such, we’ve decided to now close down Panoramio,” Google wrote in an email to Panoramio users on Saturday.
Google is also encouraging Panoramio users to join its Local Guides programme and to upload photos directly to Google Maps.
The users who have linked their Panoramio and Google+ accounts need not worry about their photos as Google will automatically copy their images to a Google Album archive.
Users will still be able to access their photos in Panoramio for a year after November 4

We'll go through this without a hitch. Now let have the torchlight," tom said and. And snatched the torch from mattew's hand. "we dont use the light, until we get into the compound," he added. The manner he spoke was grave and intimidating that matter was scared of making further argument. the night was cold and silence engulfed every where. The regular sounds of crickets, sizzled in the air. The two boys ran like jack rabbits, entering into the small garden that guided the principal's house. The house was in total darken…

TROUBLE-IN-SCHOOL (Episode 6)

Episode 6 "You should be held as a collaborator, if you withhold any information to the police. Think well, and don't say that Tom or Dick is your friend," the policeman said and paused. The mention of Tom sent jitters into Tom. Tom felt goose pimple all over him. However, on a second thought, he realised that the man was talking about Tom, dick and Harry, a common language meaning everybody. "If the school bus driver is here, let come him out, "the policeman ordered. There was a hum of dread among the students. In their minds, the mention of the driver was enough to condemn the man. The school driver was a mean looking man with a mouth like that of a mouse. He had a dark serious facet face which made him look like a wicked man. He walked out, fear written all over him. He was shaking like a leaf torn by the wind. "Come with us." the policeman hissed, watching the man shiverring like an epileptic. They dragged him violently inside the…
