Yahoo's Flickr Photo-sharing Site Debuts Video UploadsAuthored by Mark Hefflinger on April 9, 2008 - 9:29am.
Sunnyvale, Calif. - Yahoo's (NASD: YHOO) Flickr photo-sharing site on Wednesday launched an anticipated video-sharing feature for its 42 million monthly users. Buzz Watch: Flickr (Finally) Launches Video ApplicationAuthored by Jay Baage on April 9, 2008 - 6:18am.
Flickr, my favorite photo sharing service (owned by Yahoo! (NASD: YHOO)), just launched a much anticipated video service. The embedded player is really nice (see above), but a limiting feature is that the videos can't be more than 90 seconds with a max upload size of 150MB. Why? The company claims that it is because Flickr is all about "sharing photos that you yourself have taken", hence they don't want people to upload copyright protected videos like movies and TV shows. It will be interesting to see how that strategy works out for them. BTW, pretty cool that they choose to announce the new service with a puppet show. I haven't seen that before...

Beastie Boys are back after three years with the new album "The Mix Up" made up of cool instrumental jams. If you have not listed to it yet, I can highly recommend it. Since the Beastie Boys are down with social media, I have embedded a two YouTube videos, “The Rat Cage” and “Off The Grid”. The Boys have also set up a blog and a photostream on Flickr that you can check out (this picture is from that stream, taken in Istanbul).

What do you get if you you mash up two of the hottest web services out there, Twitter and Flickr, with television? The answer is Twittervision and Flickrvision. The Adobe Systems software developer Chris Bailey has taken it one step further and created Visionary Saver, a MacOS X screen saver using both Twittervision and Flickrvision. I have installed it and it is really neat. Thanks to Laughing Squid for bringing all of this to my attention.
