...is the new video feature on flickr. Like last year when the safe search filter was introduced an uproar goes through the flickr community with all the same side effects as last year, emotional discussions in the forum and groups, anti-video groups and anti-video pictures.
And hundreds of people claiming that they will leave flickr. Maybe some will really do, but for them ipernity of course is the wrong place, not only that it allows photos and video, it allows all kind of media at the same time... ;)
So this time another page or different pages will gain from the new flickr feature, I fear...

It's the similarity in the reaction of the community on flickr which got my interest and that without the things happened last year this page would have a completely different community.
But this time it goes in a completely different direction. For the anti-censorship people iperniyt was a very attractive alternative, for the anti-video people it's of course not. I wonder which platform will profit this time from the exodus of flickr members...

Personally I think the way flickr (and of course also ipernity) has integrated videos is quite good. Maybe I had excluded them from explore, but that's a matter of personal taste.

Video on Flickr is a "me-too" feature and is well in tune with Yahoo's way of doing business in the Internet. Nothing to get worried about...
And Flickr intends to limit the length of videos to 90 seconds - I wonder what they hope to achieve with that feature. Sounds impractical to me.

And for them this flickr video feature is just perfect, they will use it, they will like it and they will pay for it and make a whole bunch of people they know liking it and paying for it, too.
That's the business behind all this media sharing sites...
