Flickr Updates
If you are a Flickr user you are bound to have noticed but if not they added the ability to add 90 second videos if you are a pro user. I can see why Flickr did this, they already have a large base of creative talent and I can see why they would like to capitalize on this but it has seemed to have annoyed much of the current users. Flickr was a site for photographers to share photos. Sure maybe some photographers take video as well but there are already places you can host this. I can see how Flickr (Yahoo) is trying to create a place for people to put more serious and user created video that would be of higher quality than else where but it should have been separate or at least allow users to filter out videos if they do not wish to see them. It will be interesting to see how this plays out and if this service is better adopted over time or if Flickr will make some changes. We will have to wait and see. That was not the only update though, the max image size has been upped as well, for free users you can now upload a 10MB file while pro users can upload a 20MB file.
