Yahoo India has decided to shut down the social networking service SpotM, which it began examining in India a year ago.

Yahoo will supersede ‘Guru’ as a substitute of SpotM.

From the month of September, Yahoo’s main intention is to start new social networking project. With the SpotM, user could keep secret friends from others and they can also send them text messages without unveiling their phone numbers.

Interacting with media, a spokesperson from Yahoo said, “After careful consideration, Yahoo will no longer offer SpotM, a communications service that we experimented with in India. Yahoo India has not given up on with the social networking concept and will now replace SpotM with Guru. Drawing from the experiences of Facebook, Yahoo will look to make a common theme in its social networking sites with minor adjustments for specific geographie.”

SpotM is the third social network that Yahoo will have shut down.

Before that, the company had closed Yahoo 360 in July and shut down ‘Yahoo Mash’ last summer. All the official paperwork concerning Guru has been completed.
