Seems to be a big issue to many people, but I’m not convinced that it is something to ditch flickr over. Other than expanding the potential user base, I’m not sure this is really a good idea for flickr as it is a Photography site, not a video site. At this time, the videos are limited to 90 seconds. While this may help stop copyright issues, I’m not looking forward to people adding videos to the groups I use.
I use flickr as a great site for Photography where I’ve met some great people and gotten lots of tips. Why would yahoo want to risk alienating an established user base?
Does flickr really want to become “YouTube”?? I hope not.
Nice image made by AlbySpace.
Update: Naturally, there is a flickr group or two. IMO, this is getting a little ridiculous, especially some of the threads being discussed.
Update: UGH. Someone made a domain called www.no-video-on-flickr.com
(sigh) This has officially become absurd.
Music I’m listening to right Now:
Nothing at the moment.
