YouTube adds annotations to their videos
- LogicHoleFlaw 18y agoAnnotations from the creators is nice, but what I want to see is annotations from users. "Create a caption" contests could be brilliant when applied to video.
- STHayden 18y agoas long as you could turn it off. annotations on flickr can get out of hand.
- nickb 18y agoGood point. Now that I think of it, I've seen at least 4 diff websites that had video annotations and I've never seen even a single video that had annotations that were valuable. They're more annoying than valuable (think ads). As for flickr... some of them are useful. Facebook's people annotation, for example, is super-useful and it adds a lot of value.
- mullr 18y agoI fundamentally don't understand this kind of thing. I've seen it at http://nicovideo.jp http://nicovideo.jp, where most every video is COVERED with text. Doesn't seem all that useful. Maybe it's a cultural thing? But then, there are many things I don't understand that make lots of money.
