Yesterday my Flickr homepage changed for the better. Large images of the latest uploads from my friends and contacts are displayed, and there are other big changes under the hood.

Before yesterday, users of their free accounts were only allowed to upload up to 200 lower resolution images. All that has changed. Free accounts now include one terabyte of storage space for hi res images. Pro users still have unlimited space but a terabyte will display one whopping number of photos. They raised the limit for videos from 90 seconds to 180 too but that is still pretty paltry.

Slide shows now feature a very nice pan and scan effect.
