There is uproar amongst Flickr users this week. The long promised Video product has been implemented and users are not happy! Keep Flickr for photos, and only photos they scream! There have been anti Flickr Video groups set up that are accumulating huge numbers of members. It's really not good publicity. Or is it? Anyone who hadn't already heard of Flickr will have heard of them now.

My opinion. Yahoo has boobed again. They already have Yahoo Video. What this comes down to, once again, is a desperatley fragmented business with apps, sites and service all over the place with little to no integration and poor branding. I've said it before and I'll say it again - they need to unify all of their offerings under one brand - Yahoo - with a neat little bar along the top of the screen to allow users to easily and fluidly switch between services. They could easily integrate Yahoo Video and Flickr on a users home page. If they choose to do so....
