News is that Flickr is going to go up against YouTube and start hosting their users' home-made videos in addition to their pictures. You might not think that this is overly exciting at all, but when you think about the way that people use flickr to share content across a whole range of social networks and blogs – it kind of is.The new development is aimed at amateur movie-makers who want a better way to share their content with others. Although it’s only available to Pro members at the moment, the service allows users to share movies up to 90 seconds in length.
MyTake – the point I’m trying to get at with this is that publishing is becoming so simple, that anyone can become a content-king. With the addition of video to the ever-popular Flickr, people have another choice when it comes to video sharing. This enables them to offer a richer experience to their readers - whether that’s their facebook friends, loyal blog readers or Mom and Dad back home.
