Yahoo will challenge You Tube

Yahoo is planning to show amateur vid-eos on its popular online photo-sharing site, Flickr. This is an attempt by the web major to offer competition to popular video site You Tube which is run by rival Google. The new technology set in place by Flickr will allow amateur filmmakers to upload their videos. Anyone can see these videos though the person who uploads can restrict access. As of now, Yahoo is giving only paid members of Flickr the right to upload videos. You Tube is more open and allows every Internet surfer to freely upload videos. However, Flickr believes that its approach will give a more ‘personal touch’ to the site since members can keep their videos and pictures together.
