Flickr expanding flickering-image capability to general membership

YouTube's probably not running scared just yet, but the Flickr community has finally gotten general access to video-posting capability. The Pro (paid-user) community has been uploading 90-second "long photos" to the service last year, but now any registered user can post to two standard-definition videos each month on the service.

According to Yahoo's Yodel Anecdotal blog, which announced the change earlier this week, the limit is in addition to the usual 100MB/month cap on photo uploads for non-paying users. Paying users also get a service boost, allowing them to upload HD video. And all hands are free to browse videos through the odd-but-amusing Flickr Clock, which sorts the clips by time.
