It appears that MySpace is not the only one that is threatened of being washed away by Facebook but the phobia has find path into Flickr. The reason? Facebook lets users upload unlimited photos and videos. The result? Flickr has opened its video upload and sharing to all, taking a jump away from its service only available to pro users. it would let users to upload videos of 90 second duration while those with a pro account can utilize its high definition. Apart from that users with free accounts will only be allowed a 100 MB limit, what a big turn off. First you are trying to save your market share in photo sharing services, next you try to compete video sharing sites that include the Herculean YouTube. Sounds so not appealing and I say Flickr should try and concentrate at doing what it has done best, provide better photo sharing experience for users.
