New Flickr Video feature is a Good Thing

24 hours since the launch of the new video functionality on Flickr, and many members are up in arms. I must admit, when I first heard about the idea of video on Flickr a year ago, I was also sceptical. The photo sharing features were very pure and clean, and I thought that adding video to the mix would just end up diluting the excellent features. But video has been integrated into the site in a very clean and unobtrusive way, so I have no problems with it. The fact is that if you don’t like video clips, then you are not forced to upload or watch them. You can just continue to use the site as before, albeit ignoring the videos that your more creative contacts have chosen to share.
