I thought something was odd on Flickr when I noticed that my sets and photostream were now referred to as containing so many items rather than photos. And it certainly seemed like something was up when a group page said the group accepted "photos and videos." Now it turns out they've added video to the site.

It must have been a bit painful design-wise to change every instance of "photo" on the site to "photo and video" or "item" ("photostream" at least has not become "itemstream"). But I must say the way they are handling it, with a 90-second limit in duration, really seems right to me. The types of videos I've been taking with my camera are just what they have in mind: in some cases, scenes for which motion or sound is intrinsic to capturing the idea. In others, as they put it, slices of life. I already have some in my mind that I will definitely be uploading.
