Flickr Video Goes HD
After starting hosting video alongside its online photo sevice, HD is now available to free users
While beautiful looking, two large limitations remain: videos must be 90 seconds or less in length and be under 150MB in size. For most people, neither of these options is ideal, and Yahoo should really address them in a future update. There is that feeling that many people will simply continue to go to YouTube, Vimeo, or another service to offload that footage instead.
Along with the bump to HD, Flickr is rolling out a new feature as part of its explore section called the Flickr clock, which will let viewers browse videos by the time of day they were recorded. The company opened up a special group for video submissions back in late January, and the process involves users manually adding a special "machine tag" to their clips to let the system know when it was taken.
