photo and video craze
Tweet
Flickr integrated with Picnik. Then launched video hosting. Dopplr integrated with Flickr. Moo is now printing properly sized (business) cards with your Flickr photos. Photrade claims to be a free image hosting and photo sharing service that pays users to host their pictures and image galleries. Photobucket hosts video next to photos, too. Photobox offers free prints. Photojojo offers free tips and tricks. Pix-Yu is to Flickr what Plurk is to Twitter. The Library of Congress opens its archives to generalised Flickr tagging. Amateur and professional videos come at us free of charge from YouTube, Vimeo, Seesmic, Miro (ha! they wanted an abstract name), Joost, all kinds of blogs, RSS feeds, and even bit torrent clients like Azureus. After ages of thinking we were all born poets, down to current word-centered services (e-mail, IM, blogs, Twitter), time has come that we're all born photographers and cameramen, too. Such a creative species! How will all this overflow be curated? By whom? For whom?
