Flickr Does VideoApril 8, 2008 - 11:43pm
Flickr is hosting very short (90 sec) video clips now that you can roll in with your photos. Since the drive for the site is very much still photos, I think they’ve found the right balance for the site by setting the duration to be, as they say, “long photos”. Since I had to test it out I grabbed the first video clip I could find that I wanted to share and put it up. It took it fine and it looks like a photo in the stream until you move over it or view it. That’s pretty much perfect. “The ultimate effect of the great science of Fingerprints is this: that whereas a gentleman was expected to put on gloves to dance with a lady, he may now be expected to put on gloves in order to strangle her.” — Avowals and Denials, 1935 – G. K. Chesterton |
