From what I can see it appears that the most recent confused press release from Yahoo, in an article from Information Week, Yahoo Launches Video on Flickr that Flickr will take video uploads, is true; that is if you pay them $24.95 for a pro account for the year!
For anyone that uploads videos to Yahoo, navigating through the confused tangle of seemingly dead end links is more than enough. The old adage that you can't get there from here proves true on this site. The only way to access subscribers videos is through Videos.Yahoo.com. I know this may seem idiotic but after having an account there for more than a year I still have no idea how to see a producers main collection of videos. It would seem that they would at least copy one of the other video companies templates for ease of navigation. Like YouTube perhaps, Duh!
Now the idea that they are going to start a whole new service, without fixing the previous one, seems like the ship is being running by the people swabbing the decks.
It's unfortunate that the number one site in the world truly is a three ring circus.
Albert Wilking swabs the decks for CrazyStudios.com.
