There is something nice about the simplicity Flickr is putting in touch with the player.

The only thing I was kinda surprised on was that they didn’t put together a nice flickr preloader, just left it black. I am sure that will be the first thing to change.

I’ve worked recently (well the past couple of years) on design/creation/ideation and other words ending in “ion” all around video players so I speak with some authority (well, it’s actually my ego coming out, but you already knew that – let’s get back to the topic here).

Flickr pegged its video right by making it SIMPLE. The one beauty about Flickr.photos is the ability for even beginners to understand, adopt and integrate their flow into their own process. And proof to this is that my mom posts more pictures to Flickr in a week than I’ve done in the past year. Yeah.

I agree, they could’ve allowed time-stamped commentary (by adding a simple click-comment on the timeline, or at the comment field level via a simple input box), they could’ve also allowed tagging and reverse-tagging (when I click on a video:tag-time:01:00:00 I could go to that specific time in that specific video).

That being said, I have nothing else to say.

You have to listen to your audience, and I think the whole Yahoo! team is listening as hard as possible due to MS’s douchebaggery. But that’s another blog (comment – since I don’t blog).
