Flickr opens video for all, and HD video for Pro users
Flickr, while known as one of the main picture hubs on the web, is also a pretty nice place to share videos. The problem up until now has been that the option has only been available to users with "Pro" paid accounts. Today, that changes as the service is opening video uploads to all users while granting Pro members the ability to go high definition with their video uploads.
If you’re wondering why you might use Flickr for videos as opposed to YouTube or Vimeo or any of the other established video sites, Flickr thinks about its offering a bit differently. Because videos are limited to 90 seconds long, the service thinks of them as more of "long photos," as it points out on its blog post today. And videos on Flickr tend to be more personal or quirky, and generally seem to have less "viral" aspirations to them.
