Yesterday, we found out that Flickr now adds video! So, it’s a multimedia sharing site, that involves both photos and videos.
You’ll need to have a Pro account for video sharing, and clips up to 150MB can be uploaded. And, as with photos, there are a number of privacy settings to take advantage of, licensing, as well as tagging and geotagging capabilities.
We think that space limitations are going to be a major problem for many users, along with the alternative of free YouTube. But, given that Flickr’s brand is a sharing site for serious amateurs, perhaps YouTube won’t hinder Flickr’s entrance into the video space too much?
Webware has reported that Flickr will be scaling up uploaded content – an appealing necessity for its existing user base. With the growing interest in quality videos from an individual user standpoint, especially on the mobile front, this could be the perfect time for Flickr to finally make its move into video.
