Video! Video! Video! The rumours are true and “soon” is now. We’re thrilled to introduce video on Flickr. If you’re a pro member, you can now share videos up to 90 glorious seconds in your photostream.
90 seconds? While this might seem like an arbitrary limit, we thought long and hard about how video would complement the flickrverse. If you’ve memorized the Community Guidelines, you know that Flickr is all about sharing photos that you yourself have taken. Video will be no different and so what quickly bubbled up was the idea of “long photos,” of capturing slices of life to share.
This could mean a great resource for people wanting to share short video loops and images, think of all the possibilities, and without thoughtless vlog posts as well…
Some possabilities include:
- a great source and community for video backgrounds
- a great source and community for video loops
- a great source and community for vj’s
It’s got me thinking again of getting back into video loops..
