As of last night , Flickr / Yahoo has finally bit the smoke and added video support to their servicing . A cynical reaction might be that they understandably would like to contend with YouTube . But when reading through the FAQ and examine the system ’s limitations , it seems that they really are sincere in supporting " long exposure " as opposed to real television . The kind that come from your television camera , not camcorder .
First , there ’s a 90 - second time limitation on all uploads . Needless to say , that ’s extremely low . Flickr acknowledges that it “ might seem arbitrary . ” And it is . Whether or not it supports miserly redaction or cleaner presentment , why 90 ? Why not 89 ? 60 ? The sentence limit might not be a bad thing , but it ’s certainly arbitrary .
And also to take down : not everyone can upload telecasting . Pro user have the pick , but standard users will demand to spend some gelt for the privilege .
A quick test finds that the service is no more difficult than uploading photos , and it ’s fairly ready to thrill . Also , advanced embed part allow for users to choose their preferred breadth or height for the television and the service will calculate the attribute and update the codification accordingly . That sounds like a small jot . It is , but it ’s also a fairly good one lack in just about all video on the web . [ flickr video ]
