Not that it should be a big surprise to anyone, but Radar, the social photo sharing site is entering the deadpool. An email sent out to users over the weekend confirms that May 26 at noon Pacific Time will be the end.

The camera embedded in your phone has less to do with “photography†and more to do with communication and shared experience and conversation. We believe there’s a remarkable shift happening in the way we communicate. A shift...
