Tout ce qu'il faut pour capturer l'instant...

L'instant après lequel on court tous.

Depuis ce matin, Flickr s'est ouvert à 90 secondes de vidéo. Un groupe d'exclusifs de bêta testeurs ont pu depuis deux semaines s'adonner à coeur joie, donner des commentaires, des recommandations, tester la vidéo de fond en comble pour finalement pondre cette nouvelle fonctionnalité, qui devrait bien plaire à plusieurs. Des semaines de pur plaisir, en catimini.

Aux vidéos authentiques, vrais, touchants. Aux clins d'oeil que l'on se fait à soi-même ou à son petit groupe de fidèles et d'amis.

Voici une Vidéo humoristique de l'équipe au Quartier Général de Flickr..

Voici les fonctionnalités à venir - en bref:

• L'upload est réservé aux membres Flickr Pro uniquement. Aux personnes qui uploadent des vidéos sur leur caméra et qui veulent que soit conservé cet aspect unique, personnel et intime de cette vidéo.
• La possibilité de partager ces vidéos sur des blogs, ou l'envoi à des amis.
• Capacité de rendre ces vidéos privées ou publiques.
• Des tags et du geotagging.
• Des droits de license Creativecommons.org
• des APIs!
• 90 secondes et 150 Mo.
• Visualisation sur écran géant
• Un service en 8 langues.

voici un commentaire sur le blog de techcrunch... qui prouve que les 90 secondes, c'est comme un exercice de style forcé. Don Campbell April 8th, 2008 at 3:06 pm

Wow - I’m looking forward to playing with this. The 90 second limit on the videos seems like a problem at first, but it may actually force people to be creative. It makes me think of how the new iMovie software works - it encourages you to work with clips of video, and I find myself making short movie clips along with photos to tell a story that is much more interesting than the longer videos. Also - I wonder if the new Flickr video will allow you to embed them in your blog easily like YouTube does

"Yahoo relaunched its video site this week. It's good. Really, really good actually, and superior to just about all of its competitors in terms of clean design, simple and intuitive nav, higher resolution vids, and bigger screens. Even the most mewl-happy noob could figure the site out. Unfortunately, it doesn't matter."

"There is no question we will be in a legal position to strike on April 1," B.C. Government and Service Employees Union president George Heyman declared at a hastily called news conference yesterday.

Mr. Heyman said the union has asked for immediate discussions with the government to determine which services need to be maintained in the event of a strike, backed by 80 per cent of BCGEU members.

The government's last offer of an 8.5-per-cent wage increase over four years, plus a $3,300 signing bonus, is not adequate, the union president said, after years of wage freezes and increased workloads.

Mr. Heyman pointed angrily to the lucrative proposed agreement accepted on Saturday by negotiators for the province's 8,800 physicians.

According to a report sent to members by B.C. Medical Association president Michael Golbey, the doctors' tentative new contract provides an average compensation increase of 19.1 per cent over its first four years.

The scope of the pay hike for physicians, whose previous settlement was also considered rich, stunned union negotiators throughout the public sector.

"I don't believe it is fair to give virtually all available money to one group [the BCMA] and stiff everyone else," Mr. Heyman said.

Now if you were in any other industry and the employer put on the table a 8.5-per-cent wage increase over four years plus a $3,300 signing bonus you would probably take it, but not the BCGEU, they want 10-per-cent wage increase over three years and reason they want it only for three years is so that they can blackmail the government in 2010 just before the 2010 Olympics.

I know they got screwed by the present day Liberials when Campbell torn up their contract and said screw you, but one thing the BCGEU does'nt realize is that more of their jobs are going to be contracted out even if it does'nt make a bit of sense to do so.

They should also relize that their numbers might decrease if we have a flu pandemic since we are going to demand that our civil service be on the frontlines fighting it.

George Heyman, president of the B.C. Government and Service Employees Union, told a news conference in Victoria that little progress has been made on major issues like contracting out, privatization and job security.
