Something that’s been in the rumor been for quite some time may actually be coming true very soon. Stewart Butterfield, co-founder of flickr, has told users back in May 2007 that video would be coming “soon” and this was reconfirmed in August 2007, but now months later nothing substantial has been shown.

Currently no details exist on this upcoming functionality, but knowing flickr it will probably be clean & simple to use.

Also flickr just celebrated their 4th birthday. Happy Birthday to them. I started following flickr in 2004 and their service is what really turned me onto this whole “web 2.0″ scene. I even got the chance to speak to Stewart Butterfield via email, which basically consisted of me sending him an email saying “omg I love your site, I want to be just like you” and him replying with a thank you and some sort of smiley face and thats how the legend goes (because I lost the email…doh).
