Yes, it looks like Flickr went too far with this
update, judging from
the community uproar -- and my own impressions.
They seem to be targeting consumers over 'prosumers' -- and are
leaving long-time 'Pro' users like me in the dust.
Probably we may say that both profiles exists. And I don't mean that
one person equals one profile, sometime you just to sit down and watch,
and sometime you want to feel more actively involved. So maybe it may be
interesting to think about two interfaces for this two use case. Of
course, at least to my mind, our wiki movement is about promoting
proactivity, and so an interface which induce such a behaviour must IMHO
stay our primary goal. We may also let other projects/websites create
more passive interfaces reusing commons, thus said making it within
Wikimedia would allow us to design it as "first step to a more proactive
behaviour".
Now that may all be just a bad idea based on good intents. Zhat do you
think? Do you know real experiment feedbacks on this topic?
(I have over 20k images on Flickr:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/fabola/ [3] ).
I personally don't mind the new photo-centric UI, which has some real
benefits, but I miss some key features like the set overview page,
which gave us plenty of room to feature a text description (I used it
all the time to write a short report on that set's content -- and to
link to other sets or related pages). And I too hate that people can
no longer download my photos at any size they want, as Nemo points
out
below.
That's disappointing, as features like these were an important reason
for sticking with Flickr as a publishing tool. Now that it's more
like
Facebook or Instagram, I have less of an incentive to use it for
casual photo-sharing. The main thing that's keeping me there now is
the ability to upload images at a high resolution, its suite of
organizing tools -- and the fact that so much of my work is already
on
Flickr.
Once we modernize our multimedia platform and features, we can
provide a viable alternative to folks like me, who want more than
just
a simple photo sharing site -- and want to contribute to our cause.
To be continued,
Fabrice
