Online photo sharing site Flickr is branching out into video. If you’re a pro member, you can now share videos up to 90 glorious seconds or 150MB in your photostream. Your video will display alongside photos in search results, within new uploads from friends, in Explore, on the Map, in RSS feeds, and anywhere else that you are used to finding photos. There will be some parts of Flickr where you can choose that you’d like to see either photos or video, or both, like Advanced Search.

While this might seem like an arbitrary limit, we thought long and hard about how video would complement the flickrverse. If you’ve memorized the Community Guidelines, you know that Flickr is all about sharing photos that you yourself have taken. Video will be no different and so what quickly bubbled up was the idea of “long photos,” of capturing slices of life to share.

Another great news from Flickr is that they are doubling the size of photos that can be uploaded — 20MB per photo for pro members and 10MB per photo for members with free accounts.
