Striatic is a long-time Flickr user and one of the guys behind Photophlow, I believe (which is awesome, by the way). This was one of the first videos I came across on Flickr following their announcement on the launch of video. I know some people that I follow on Tumblr are upset about the player Flickr is using. I didn’t notice the issue myself, but I guess I can understand your point. Nevertheless, I’m excited about Flickr video. It’s going to expose original online video to a much wider audience. I’d include myself in that bucket, actually. I’ve never uploaded a video to the web. I’m much more likely to now since friends of mine - people I know and hang out with on the weekends - are on Flickr. Not all of them, but enough to make the sharing experience worthwhile. As much as I love Vimeo, my real life friends just aren’t yet using it. If I produced really creative videos, I would post them to Vimeo based on the audience. But, in terms of sharing my everyday life experiences, I want to do that where my friends are. I have no interest in posting to YouTube even though I watch videos there often. Perhaps I should do a better job recruiting friends to Vimeo.
Anyway, here are some other clips I enjoyed my first few minutes exploring video on Flickr: Commute to work, Six twenty nine, I have recorder, Stupid pet trick
