That’s good news, I didn’t like the geo features before, they were so difficult to handle.

Seriously Flickr, either release the video compatability or tell us you’re not going to do it.

I (for one) really want the ability to put a little video of my kids playing so relatives can see it, alongside the family snaps.

But just talking about it occasionally, but not actually doing anything, is really infuriating. I’m fine with “no” (I’ll go elsewhere), but “possibly maybe, one day, perhaps” is just sitting on the fence. Well I hope you get splinters.

Video? Personally I wish that Flickr wouldn’t trash things up with video.

I love Flickr too. I had both a Flickr and smugmug account and I recently closed the smugmug account. Everything works great at Flickr — the mechanics, social networking, you name it. End of story.

This is cool but WHERE IS VIDEO SUPPORT?? Honestly, that is the number 1 requirement and they should stop releasing stuff until that is done

I love Flickr. It’s the best social network of them all, has a real feeling to it.
I get notifications from 8hands whenever a friend of mine uploads photos, so I’m always updated with what’s going on. It’s great.

#3 - “Releases New” keywords ? Do they trigger techmeme to include it on their main page ? We guess so..

#6 - Are we doing it right ?

Excellent, I’m really glad Flickr isn’t losing the initiative on this. I honestly thought that some startup would swoop in and corner the market on this type of thing, but good for them.

Could TechCrunch please use more accurate wording in headlines like this? If Flickr indeed “releases” these features, I would be able to head over to Flickr.com, sign into my account and begin using them.

As you wrote in the post, Flickr “will release” these features tomorrow, i.e., they are not available now. This makes your headline (and many before it) a bit frustrating.

I’d like to suggest you guys word headlines about features that have yet to be released more accurately. For example, this headline should read: “Flickr to release new geographic features,” immediately letting the reader know that these aren’t out yet. Otherwise you’re more or less misleading us.

And no one like to be misled.

#1: Try the “month ago” link for screenshots.
