Flickr Video Coming in April, say Reports

Flickr Video, an idea that has been brewing for quite some time, is quickly becoming a reality as many Flickr and Yahoo representatives said the service will be available as soon as next month, according to a number of reports.

The rumblings about a video service comes at Flickr's fourth anniversary party that happened over the weekend. Many different Yahoo and Flickr representatives, including co-founder Stewart Butterfield, continually leaked tidbits of information about a video service that surprisingly, isn't here to compete with YouTube.

Rather than competing with YouTube, the Flickr Video service is initially catered towards its users and community. Yahoo recognized that the Flickr community would not take kindly to creation of a video service to compete with YouTube. Flickr Video will serve as an area for users to upload videos side-by-side with pictures and win the users back that looked elsewhere for video uploading needs.

It was made apparent that Flickr Video will not be replacing Yahoo Video either. After Flickr was acquired by Yahoo, Yahoo Photos was folded into Flickr, but the same will not occur with the two video services.
