Flickr adds Video

So Flickr yesterday announced (what has been rumoured for a while) Flickr Video. This allows Pro users to upload videos that will sit alongside their photo collections on the Flickr website.

Excellent, so I no longer have to keep my videos on a separate site like YouTube or (the far superior!) Vimeo?

Not quite yet. Flickr has (for now?) limited uploads to 90 seconds long and 150MB in size which means it is not going to become a replacement for YouTube just yet.

It is interesting to see is Yahoo! going after Google's share of the online video space and if it will, over time, integrate Flickr Video with its own Yahoo! Video site.

So what can users do with 90 seconds? Well one example emerging from the private beta phase is the 'fridget' - a snippet of video filmed from the inside of a fridge as someone (or something) peers inside.

Some examples!
