Flickr Discussion on The Last Word - TodayFM

City-Exile · 13-03-2008 5:40pm #1

Flickr was due to be discussed on TodayFM's, The Last Word, today.
As far as I know, it hasn't been on yet.
Just tuned in now.

I'm in the middle of a project for college on Flickr as a service provider. Wonder what they're gonna talk about.

PaddyofNine · 13-03-2008 6:11pm

They're on about broadband speeds at the moment so it'll probably be a nice run into Flickr!

City-Exile · 13-03-2008 6:15pm

Nope! Broadband speed rolled into the traffic report.
Nice link, given that "crawling" is a good adjective for both, in Ireland.

pfft they need to talk about user participation and how its a prime example of a web 2.0 service. How the service is using web as a platform and how the site just goes organically. Specially about the revolutionary tagging others photos system.

Flickr being discussed now...

City-Exile · 13-03-2008 6:40pm

Not much being said that any flickr user wouldn't already know.
Seems more like a publicity piece for flickr.

And there was me thinking *you* were on it...

Was there something posted about a radio interview on the subject of Boards a while back?

City-Exile · 13-03-2008 7:52pm

Give over, sineadw!
I'm too shy for radio.

It was pretty useless, I cringed at some of the questions Cooper asked.

rymus · 13-03-2008 9:13pm

well.. he's hardly a technology journalist so... whaddya expect? They have a tech slot, but it's always tech from the layman's perspective.

If it makes you feel any better, I text one of the speakers after the interview and poked some fun.

City-Exile · 13-03-2008 9:19pm

Surely the social networking aspect of flickr was a worthy talking point?
You have to wonder how much the researchers get paid, when the best they can come up with is some lightweight discussion on a website!

rymus · 13-03-2008 9:22pm

I suspect the researchers put all their effort into the 'real' interviews and articles that take place beforehand. it's a filler piece to kill time until the end of the show at 7pm. That's why the tech slot is always last

Haha! Man I'm just writing something along those lines for this project I'm doing.

He read out a statement from a texter saying that Picasa was free and allowed unlimited uploading. No one challenged this.

Ouch! What are you studying? Have you been able to find out any information about financial performance?
