You know, maybe the cool kids will want to hang out again.<\/p>\n<p>The biggest change comes from the new website, which drops the old design. It&#8217;s now fresh, simple and modern and gives the cloud service character. Big photos in the stream, menu bar on top and the usual suspects on the right &#8212; Explore, Flickr Blog and a list of people you may (want to) know &#8212; dominate the uncluttered experience. Friends get a similarly-styled profile page which emphasizes shared content.<\/p>\n<p>The other biggest change is that users now get 1 TB of cloud storage, for free, in order to upload content with &#8220;no limited pixels, no cramped formats, no memories that fall flat&#8221;. That is a nice feature considering that modern mobile devices and dedicated cameras churn out pretty large photos compared to the days of old.<\/p>\n<p>Flickr, however, does not allow users to upload 1080p videos longer than three minutes. That is a pretty annoying limitation which may keep some folks away. After all, what good is 1 TB of free storage if users can&#8217;t fill it up with content?<\/p>\n<p>To complete its renaissance, Flickr also announced a new Android app which comes with a redesigned interface.
