Sponsor | | konradc | Apr 11, 6:30am | | I hope they raise the limits, their small, less intrusive player is nicer than YouTube's honking big one. Kinda reminds me of Yahoo Music Videos. |

Sponsor | | Naruwan | Jun 12, 6:05pm | I like the 90-second limit firstly because Flickr doesn't want to turn into a video site and secondly it will encourage people to edit. In fact, that's what Flickr now needs is a decent video editor like JumpCut ( jumpcut.com [jumpcut.com] ) which Yahoo owns. Most people's videos can be edited right down to about 90 seconds anyway.
I think Flickr has it right because short clips are the best way to accompany photos. Longer videos don't really belong on Flickr because Flickr is after all primarily a photo-sharing site. What you can do for longer videos, and this is what many people have done already on Flickr, is to post a picture/ video capture with a link to the video on another site.
It's also interesting too how many of the people who were protesting videos on Flickr have now shut up and are actually posting videos on Flickr themselves. Didn't take long! |
