"The day many of you have been waiting for: Flickr adds video.  It's now a multimedia sharing site, that involves both photos and videos.  How excited are you?  For video sharing, you'll need a Pro account, however.  Bummer.  That's most of you Mashable readers anyway, so it shouldn't be too big of a deal.  \nClips up to 150MB can be uploaded, and given Flickr's brand as a sharing site for serious amateurs, the alternative of free YouTube, and other sites, won't hinder Flickr's entrance into the video space just yet, though the space limitations will likely be an issue for a good chunk of its user base.  \nWebware reports that Flickr will be scaling up uploaded content, which is an appealing necessity for its existing user base.  With the growing interest in quality videos from an individual user standpoint, especially on the mobile front, this could be an optimal time for Flickr to finally make its move into video.  As with photos, there are a number of privacy settings to take advantage of, licensing, as well as tagging and geotagging capabilities. So what will you do, now that you can upload videos on Flickr?\nHere are some ideas to get the creative juices flowing:\n\nBuild a Flickr slide show tool to support photos and videos\nMake your FriendFeed stream that much more exciting\nTake a close up video (as opposed to photo) of your eyeball, and speak in a really flustered voice, like on the \"Blair Witch Project\"\nHave yet another place to share clips of your dog running around the yard\nBuild on its uploading API\nLet us know how you feel about Flickr adding video, and how you'll be taking advantage of the new features.\nBeg Flickr to increase the space limitations\n\n(image credit: CNet)"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
