Parece que todos mandaram fuguetes e apanharam as canas sozinhos… Mas ninguém falou dos resultados.
Estou-vos a falar do Download Day do Firefox. Que tinha como objectivo fazer um record mundial de mais downloads de software em 24 horas. Link
Na minha opinião esta campanha toda foi idiota e inútil. O lado positivo é que alguém pode ter feito download do Firefox pela primeira vez, deixando assim o Internet Explorer (aqueles que ainda tem windows, aquela coisa obsuleta).
O novo Firefox (3) aparenta ser mais rápido e mais lento em certas operações. No geral está melhor.. Experimentem vocês mesmos. Link

While some people are still endlessly yelling at Flickr for the new video features, some others are experimenting around it. Especially the one that were already experimenting with pictures, doing collages, blanding, panoramics or any kinf of litle planets. On of my contact on Flickr is PaintMonkey, a very inspired photographer when it comes to photocollages. His photostream is really amazing and creative. He recently explored around the concept of “long photos” (as Flickr calls its videos) and quickly came with some collages experiments. As I was by my side discovering Motion 3 and its stabilization features, I came up with this Stabilized Collage experiment.I am really impressed about the simplicity and the quality of Motion’s stabilization features. It’s really quick and simple to work with. The first time I really got the stabilization concept was when I saw the stabilized version of the JFK assassination Zapruder’s video. At this time, I guess this has been done by hand, frame after frame, but now it’s as easy as click-and-process.
You can find an explanation of the process there : www.flickr.com/photos/ibftp/2425396334/in/photostream/

EDIT June 13th 2008: wow, lots of nice comments, thank you very much. It seems the Woot blog linked this piece as “the possible first Flickr-specific art form”. I don’t think so, but it’s nice though
