Flickr Launches Video for Everyone
by John Stauffer
Category: Digital Influence, Search
Flickr’s premium members have enjoyed video uploads for some time and now all users will be able to upload video content.
Flickr’s General Manager, Kakul Srivastava, announced the move on Yahoo!’s Yodel Anecdotal, calling the new medium “long photos” (one of NY Times 2008 Buzzwords).
Right off the bat, there seem to be two potentially deal breaking caveats:
– Free users are only able to upload two videos per month;
– The duration is limited to 90 seconds.
Once you’ve leapt over those barriers, there’s some pretty neat applications on the other end.

Allows users to see what’s going on around the world in photos and video at any moment in time. I happened to click into a Turkish dinner party around 6:30pm this evening.
Exactly what you’d expect, but with video.
What do you think? Will Flickr’s newfangled “long photos” ever take off?
