Just to address the Video issue. I think Yahoo knows this is a general problem for them and it's probably the next on the list of things to address. I have a feeling it's going to come in the form of a Video service acquisition that will then tie into Flickr and other services rather than trying to improve on Flickr's inadequacy. Although I hear you when you say that videos need to be permitted in albums.
- antr 13y agoI thought the same thing as you did: Yahoo needs a video acquisition. Maybe that's where the failed DailyMotion acquisition came in. I think Vimeo is the perfect fit for the new Flickr, but good luck buying that from IAC.
- chuhnk 13y agoYes! I completely agree about Vimeo. It's a brilliantly simple and clean service for video and would be a fantastic addition for Yahoo. Although I think they want to go much bigger and try for something like Hulu.
- SystemOut 13y agoI don't see how the two are related. Hulu is for consumption of produced video where as Vimeo is for oriented towards user generated video. They don't fulfill the same need.
- chuhnk 13y agoYes I realise this. User generated video may not be Yahoo's priority right now but on the subject of video, studio produced content is more than likely to be. Everyone's throwing their hat in the ring when it comes to streaming tv online. You can be Yahoo wants in on some of the action. What's going to be a better revenue generator?
