Comments on: Flickr does video. Is this good or bad? http://highedwebtech.com/2008/04/14/flickr-does-video-is-this-good-or-bad/ Higher Ed Web Development Wed, 08 Feb 2012 17:44:38 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v= By: Scott http://highedwebtech.com/2008/04/14/flickr-does-video-is-this-good-or-bad/#comment-1165 Scott Wed, 16 Apr 2008 17:51:02 +0000 http://highedwebtech.com/?p=37#comment-1165 I think it is good that they have added this feature, makes them more well rounded and on par with other services. However the loyal fan base of Flickr users is being reluctant to let them grow. Other start ups, such as Pixamo, offer photo sharing on an equal level with video sharing, and in my opinion, are more poised for future success.

I would also say that the outrage is from a miniscule, yet terribly vocal minority. Most of the family members that I've talked to have enjoyed the fact that they don't have to go to Flickr for photos and then go login to YouTube. That I can put my camera videos along with the photos and ensure that they have the same privacy or Guest Pass access is huge. And by 'huge' I mean 'really huge'.

You said that you have had a good response, but what does that mean? We haven't gotten into using Flickr, but I guess it could be a possibility that we look into this summer after we get some of the other big issues sorted through. Mike,
