Is Flickr onto something with the “long photo?”

Pfft, like I know. But four days ago I uploaded a 90-second clip of our cat Pokeweed sitting upright to both Flickr and YouTube. Not a whole lot going on there, just a strange clip of our strange cat behaving a little strangely. The YouTube version has been viewed 28 times. The Flickr version has been viewed 1,057 times, has been marked a favorite by 44 people and has attracted 20 comments. (And the embedded version looks great when the control bar disappears, nothing but the image.)

Maybe Flickr is just a particularly cat-friendly environment. Flickr users really do seem to like their cats, after all. Could just be that video is still a novelty there. Or maybe there really is something interesting to Flickr’s concept of less-than-90-second videos as “a long photo.”

No great revelations, just an observation. And an excuse, as if I needed one, to post yet another picture of my cat.

Profit: Ur doing it wrong!

How’s the real estate market here in South Florida? Still ever so slightly short of robust, judging by the sales data we’re feeding Backyard Post. Consider:

FAIL!

EPIC FAIL! Or, as Sholin might put it: “Oh, now that’s just a greasy 20-piece bucket of FAIL right there.” First!

Paper View Monday: Statesman Journal of Salem, Oregon

The lever on my gigantic Paper View Monday machine has been jammed on “Florida” for a full five weeks now, and hasn’t spit out a western newspaper building since February. I think it’s sorted now, however, so let’s jet off to Salem, Oregon for a look at the Statesman Journal in Virtual Earth/Live Maps. Trivia I still find a little amazing: The Statesman Journal in 2006 won first place in the general excellence category of the state Better Newspaper Contest, two places ahead of a paper six times its size. Take that, you light rail-riding hippies.

Random picture of my cat, Vol. 62: Special moving-picture edition!

Here’s a very special moving-picture Flickr video edition of random picture of my cat. Ninety seconds of Pokeweed sitting upright and staring, with a few glimpses of the camera-shy Belle. Pokeweed! Moving! Belle too! Cats! Video! Geekery! Huzzah!
