Flickr goes Video: how to lose credibility
Flickr is one of the site I check and update daily. I like taking picture, giving and receiving feedbacks and this is why I decided to signup a PRO account with Flickr.
Yesterday the great(!) news: flickr.com now supports video!
Wow(!), and this is a good way of going out of business(!) Do we really need another YouTube? Do we really need to focus on having a website that does what other thousands already do? I joined flickr because it was about Photography. Were I interested in video I would have joined YouTube.
The wrong thing in this decision is that the same amount of effort spent to do YAVSNS (Yet Another Video Social Networking Site) could have been better spent in improving the photographic part, that is the core business. Why not implementing a rating system, or creating new way of enhancing the most beautiful photos? Anything, but this…
By the way… this announcement did not receive much interest, maybe because more people than simply me are not so interested in a company that does not support their core business…
…my 2 cents…
