Fans of flickr like myself like to blame the parent company Yahoo! when things go wrong.
But I question this new innovation from the flickr team:
We’ve launched an improved version of the Slideshow.
Here’s the feature comparison:
Old Version — sucks
New Version – rules!You wanted bigger photos!
You wanted to see titles descriptions!
You wanted to see your photos on a black background!
If you look at photos on flickr, here’s an important tip: During slideshow mode, if you hover your mouse over the centre of any photo, an “i” should appear. Click that and you will get a text overlay on the pictures during the slideshow.
Invisible-until-you-hover links on photos and videos are becoming quite popular. But it’s definitely not intuitive.
Thanks George.
