Flickr video sharing nearing reality

Posted by Kelley Vendeland on March 18, 2008 at 6:56 AM

A video sharing service on Flickr, Yahoo's online photo sharing site, will reportedly launch in the beginning of April.

Flickr has discussed adding video for a while, but nothing has come of it until now, reports TechCrunch. The delay in launching video sharing may have been the result of internal debates over how to make Flickr video distinct from YouTube.  

According to Techno!, the new video service will not replace Yahoo Video, unlike Flickr's photo sharing service, which canceled out Yahoo Photos.  

 
Flickr also added a photo mapping feature last year.
