Flickr As New YouTube Killer?
Michael Arrington at Techcrunch reports that video is coming soon to Flickr.
This is great news, and I think it could become an overnight major competitor to YouTube — having both types of media available via one site/service makes for a lot of convenience.
Though, people may not realize that it’s already been possible to a small degree, if you upload an animated GIF to Flickr (see this example where I uploaded an animated sequence of a glider’s movement from Conway’s Game of Life).

Youtube being related to Google will not go anywhere anytime soon. Flickr may become a competitor but their will always be Youtube on top.

It’s a great news for Flickr! I’ve been expecting this to happen and I can’t wait to see how it will be to watch videos on Flickr.

My bet is on YouTube, although I secretly wish Flickr would knock the Tube down
Great post, as usual!
