Ok! Let’s get back to something that’s vaguely related to Content, shall we?…
The presentation by Lawrence Lessig mentioned in the update to my Right to Index/Search post is provided through a relatively new video service, YouTube.
YouTube is like Flickr with video… tag, blog, and link to your multimedia.
Which raises the question: why isn’t YouTube Flickr? That is, what is it about multimedia that Flickr didn’t get and so missed this market? Did becoming a Yahoo! company remove the creative urge?

The one word answer to your question is “bandwidth”. Being Youtube is harder and more expensive than being Flickr for that reason. And the revenue is the same – nothing. At least Flickr loses less!
