Well, I guess Melissa is doing a better job than I thought. 

1TB for free would make this a decent photo archive.

kinda ironic the company known for brevity offers so much space...

I'm wondering if they might be planning to go after YouTube and host more video content?

Yeah, 1TB sure is a lot of photos.  I thought of video hosting right away too.

Hmm... I thought "great press release without actually costing anything". Since 99% of users will never upload a TB of data and, I'm guessing, 99% of users don't exceed the current allocation, you can raise the limit to 1TB, put out a press release, and change practically nothing at all in your service and cost.

Yeah, that's a good point, sort of like "unlimited" hosting.

I just got a email from Yahoo extolling the virtues of the new Flickr and they are playing up that 1TB of space big time.

Also there is a rumor that both Vimeo and Flickr will be integrated into iOS 7 the same way Twitter and Facebook are now.  If  true, Flickr will need to have more space and more robust hosting to handle all that traffic.  Vimeo integration is a slap at Google and YouTube.
