  1. Re:Was wondering by Fanther · · Score: 1 · on Yahoo! Photos to Shut Down
    Throwing out Yahoo photos is a much nicer solution.

    Still, many won't like it...

    Bill Tancer, general manager of global research for Hitwise, says he doesn't expect many Yahoo Photos users to move to Flickr, because it's an older, more entrenched audience.

    This product has never stopped being a top choice for demanding consumers and corporate buyers, whether they are looking for size, power, or features.

    Or just a single feature - like the TrackPoint... Few other brands have them nowadays.

  8. Re:looks good by Fanther · · Score: 3, Interesting · on Google Image Labeler

    As for myself, I found the image sizes too small, but I suppose we are basing the keywords on first impressions and are expected to come from the image search.

    It might be a copyright issue as well, after all the images come from external sites.

    Of course not everyone will sell, but imagine a small fraction that eventually will. That could be hundreds.

  10. don't play with water.. by Fanther · · Score: 1 · on My Maxtor Hard Drive Just Caught Fire!

    or you might get burnt. Three weeks ago a few drops on my laptop made it look like a poorly tuned car - with black smoke propelled by the cooling fan, and unusual sound effects. Don't try it at home, or at least try to wait 2x longer than you-think-it's-dry-already, before you switch it back on.

    Well they did say it in a movie... And we all know that what we see in movies are real, don't we?

    Of course, and the movies say short memory is not a big problem anyway.

  12. Competition... by Fanther · · Score: 2, Informative · on YouTube's Growing Competition

    An added difficulty for YouTube is that it is lacking an emotional hook to differentiate itself from a pure functional service (think iPod). Users visit YouTube not based on any of the brand's perceived values, but on its ability to give them what they want, when and how they want it.

    If the website is able to give users what they want, it does create 'perceived value' or positive emotions. If now this value is put in the context of e.g. the YouTube logo, I understand this brand becomes more valueable to these users as well. At least that's what happened to me yesterday after I got to watch some videos of geriatric1927.

    By the way, here you can compare YouTube, Google Video and 19 other video search engines. (yes, it's my website)

  13. Re:Youtube and the Slashdot effect? by Fanther · · Score: 1 · on YouTube's Growing Competition

    From my observation, YouTube was down at least 30 minutes before the post was published on /.

    Well, OTOH, Slashdot effect has a broader meaning these days...
