Flickr adds video snippets

Technology News World is reporting that Flickr has now given its users the ability to upload video snippets to its online photo gallery.

Yahoo rolled out a limited video-sharing service for its online photo-sharing service, Flickr, which will allow its members to upload short videos and integrate them with photo sets and slide shows.

The new service isn't a competitor to the likes of YouTube or other video sites that specialize in the storage -- and delivery -- of large videos. Instead, the Video on Flickr service sets Yahoo on target to compete with Fox Interactive Media for the small, personalized video market.

'Long Photos'

The Video on Flickr service allows people to upload and store videos that are either 90 seconds in length or 150 MB in size. Flickr Pro members then have the option to geo-tag photos, set privacy restrictions for viewing, upload videos directly from a mobile phone or other Internet-connected device and embed video and photo streams on other Web sites.

"Digital media has led to a new behavior emerging in the market, and people are much more likely to shoot short video clips, essentially 'long photos,' with their digital still cameras and mobile phones," said Flickr General Manager Kakul Srivastava.
