Flickr Video

Now the popular photo sharing site allows you to upload video clips One feature that many folks have asked for from Flickr, the popular photos sharing site, is the ability to upload short video clips along with still images. Just about any digital camera produced today allows you to also take short video clips. Flickr now allows you to upload 90 second or less clips and share them on your Flickr photostream. The idea is that with a limit of 90 seconds it is just long enough to post a clip of your child's birthday song, or a students science experiment, but not too long. The limit is set to encourage the uploading of user generated content and not the republication of exisiting video content. As with your Flickr photos, visitors can comment and link to the video, just as they can with still images.

Companies Realize They Can Profit From YouTube 'Piracy' - Just give them ad revenue and 'piracy' becomes 'promotion'

Techdirt points to a New York Times report on how companies that were previously trying to force YouTube content offline are now finding a way to profit from the clips. CBS, Universal Music, Lionsgate and Electronic Arts have all stopped pushing YouTube to pull videos of their content, instead working with Google to "claim" the content and profit from advertising revenue. One Lionsgate exec shows a significant amount of insight from an industry that has traditionally believed suing the hell out of fans (even for circumstantial use on YouTube) is part of a smart business model:

Reusable Syndicated Media Portlets: An Example of Simplified Content Presentation

In the early days of the World Wide Web, the battle cry of successful sites was "Content is king!" Web pages needed to be content heavy to gain rankings on the search engines and draw visitors, and the content needed to be updated regularly to bring those visitors back. As the technology evolved and business models changed, functionality and interactivity gained importance in capturing clicks. Portals provide the most manageable framework for organizing and presenting both functionality and content. But, "most manageable" isn't the same is "easily manageable" and content is still a key part of a successful portal. For portal developers and administrators, this means that the content for a portal will grow, both in source and type.

eMusic plans to fight iTunes via social web

eMusic will try to improve its standing against iTunes and fellow web-based store Amazon MP3 soon by adding a social component to the music, the music service's chief David Pakman tells Fortune. Taking advantage of the need to buy music through the web portal, eMusic hopes to draw in buyers by providing deeper and constantly changing artist info through Web 2.0 sites. Musicians will frequently have Wikipedia pages for their biographies as well as relevant Flickr photo albums and YouTube videos.

Poll: Do you use YouTube videos on your Web pages?

YouTube makes it easy to post videos on the Web and on Web pages. Plus, by using YouTube, you don't have to worry about bandwidth charges to your Web server. But there are drawbacks to YouTube. It can be difficult to share private videos and if you make your video public, you could end up with comments that are disagreeable as well. Then there are the rules that you have to agree to to use YouTube. Finally, with the latest ruling against Google, YouTube might not be as palatable for posting Web videos - especially with your privacy at risk.

Content driven websites

There are lots of different types of websites out there - product sites, marketing brochure sites, educational sites, etc. But the ones that people keep coming back to are content driven websites. As Website-Content-Providers.com explains, content driven sites are websites that are filled with content about a specific theme. And the more content you have on that theme the more interesting your site will be to readers.

Updated: Getty Images To Resell Photos From Hand-Selected Flickr Users

imageIn a way, Flickr is kind of the unofficial stock photo service of new media, so this makes sense… the Yahoo-owned photo site now has a deal with stock photo giant Getty that will see some Flickr users have their photos resold through the company. Exact details of how it will work financially weren’t announced, but basically Getty will hand select certain Flickr users, inviting them to be part of a special collection at GettyImages.com. Those pictures will then be available for editorial or paid licensing opportunities. Flickr GM Kakul Srivastava told PDNOnline the licensing revenue would be split between Getty and the user, with Flickr getting none directly, but that the two companies also have a business relationship. Ultimately, it doesn’t sound like this will be a major revenue boost for the site, which gets most of its mone

Google unveils Android Market content distribution system

Google has unveiled details of the Android Market open content distribution system on the Android Developers Blog. This will help end users find, purchase, download and install various types of content on their Android-powered mobile devices. Developers will be able to offer their content on an open system hosted by Google. This system will have a feedback and rating system similar to YouTube. Developers need to register as a merchant, upload and describe their content and then publish it. Developers can expect the first Android-based handsets to be enabled with a beta version of Android Market.

Content owners now love YouTube uploads

Less than a year after introducing a new tool for spotting copyright-infringing content on YouTube, the Google-owned video site has reported some surprisingly intelligent behaviour on the part of content owners.

How Copyright Is Holding Back The Creative Class

While not enough people recognize it, the real purpose of copyright law is to provide an incentive for the creation of more content. The government felt that there was a market failure, where not enough "content" would be produced without a limited monopoly, and thus, copyright was born. However, that happened back in the day when creating content wasn't easy. You pretty much had to go through a professional process. These days, thanks to new technologies, creating content is exceptionally easy -- and thus, a big part of the very basis for copyright no longer makes sense. We're drowning in content -- and it's not because of the "incentive" of copyright. There are plenty of incentives for creating content these days and very few have anything to do with copyright.

Mediaset sues YouTube with copyright infringement

Mediaset SpA, the media empire founded by Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi, said yesterday it was seeking at least €500-million ($796-million) in damages against Google Inc.'s YouTube unit for allegedly misusing video produced by Mediaset. In a lawsuit filed with Rome civil court, Mediaset said it had identified on YouTube at least 4,643 video clips of Mediaset-owned material that was available on June 10 alone after being posted "without obtaining rights." YouTube maintains it obeys the law by removing any copyrighted content after being notified of a violation by the copyright owner. MS (Milan) rose 21 euro cents to €4.78. GOOG (Nasdaq) fell 41 cents (U.S.) to $482.70.

Google Launches Its Challenge To Wikipedia With Wide Release Of Knol

After several months in beta, Google (NSDQ: GOOG) is going wide with content site Knol. While the site appears to be a challenge to Wikipedia, Google stresses that the articles and entries have a professional quality. The way Google is maintaining this difference between Knol and Wikipedia is that all entries must have be identified by the writer’s name. While Wikipedia does rely on editors and the community to police the site, Google is trying to go a little further. The articles on Knol can have multiple authors, which under Google’s structure, is called “moderated collaboration.�

Getty Images Ties With Flickr

Seattle-based Getty Images, which is now owned by private equity firm Hellman & Friedman, has inked a deal to feature photos from Yahoo's popular online photo sharing site, Flickr. According to Flickr, Getty Images' photo editors will identify photos that they would like to feature in the collection and reach out directly to members of the Flickr community as part of new initiative. Details of the program and its launch were not announced. Flickr said the deal will focus on creating a collection of royalty free, rights ready and rights managed photographs.

Veoh Court Victory May Be Bad Sign for Viacom - YouTube infringement case may have gotten weaker

Google is in the midst of a $1 billion copyright infringement lawsuit filed by Viacom for YouTube violations of copyright infringement. Google hopes that a recent ruling in the favor of video site Veoh will mean good things for the YouTube case. In both the Veoh case (filed by porn company Io after the company’s adult films were found on the Veoh site) and the YouTube case, the defendants’ believe that they are not responsible for hosting liabilities because of a “safe harbor” clause in the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. These sites are simply service providers that have to do minimal things to make sure that copyright isn’t violated. The court has ruled that this is true in the case of Veoh. Google believes this helps its case against Viacom but Viacom says that there are enough differences between YouTube and Veoh that it will contin
