The web is buzzing today about the new feature that Flickr rolled out yesterday: the ability to upload videos to your account. I have been wondering for some time when this was going to happen, and how they would work it. I have been a Flickr member for the past several years, and started paying for a Pro account (only $25/ year!) about a year ago, which allows for unlimited uploads, bandwidth along with unlimited albums and collections which provides brilliant online organization of all uploaded pictures. I have always thought that having something like this for video would be marvelous (a bandwidth and space hog nonetheless).

Flickr Video doesn’t provide the same service as Flickr Photos, has major restrictions on what you can upload (videos can only be a maximum of 90 seconds long, and no lager than 150MB in size), and as their FAQ page says, they are to be more like a “A long photo”. The playback quality however is crystal clear for a flash player, and holds incredible potential for when they expand the limits in the future (which they hopefully will).

Check out their FAQ page for more detailed info.

Here’s a sample of a video uploaded by the folks over at TechCrunch.com:

I love my Gmail email.  Google somehow seems to continually innovate new methods of improving my life for free.  This morning, my Gmail email account greeted me with a marvelous surprise that I am not quite sure how I feel about it: “Gmail Custom Time”.

The new feature’s slogan says it all: “Be on time, every time”.

From their site:

How do I use it?

Just click “Set custom time” from the Compose view. Any email you send to the past appears in the proper chronological order in your recipient’s inbox. You can opt for it to show up read or unread by selecting the appropriate option.

Amazing!  I think this feature could change everything for all of us!  The question remains whether or not that change will be for the better.  We’ll just have to see.
