Service Overload?

nobody@ipernity.com (Lutz-R. Frank) — Wed, 27 Jun 2007 11:23:30 +0000

Lutz-R. Frank has added a post:

oops - are we promoting the Service too much ??

I assume all our promotions and cross-invites might be like a 'gold-rush' for the ipernity servers - I think nobody expected the flickr-effect!

'Pseudo Groups' created so far ...

nobody@ipernity.com (Lutz-R. Frank) — Wed, 27 Jun 2007 07:43:58 +0000

Lutz-R. Frank has added a post:

Please post a link in the comments to allow maintaing a kind of a group list - and if possible a short description of its purpose. For Contest's and Duel's, Don Gato (Toni) already maintains a great list here.

Let me start with those I know ...

Macro Photography

by Nastasha

Lets start a new group specially for macro photography. Show us your closest shots!

The rules: You must have 500 votes and 5 invititations min to... no, a joke. ;-)

The only rule: The pictures must be closeups. Everybody can join! :)

Doomed for Eternity

by Lutz

Seeing more and more fantastiv images making their way into the new community, and waiting for groups to be implemented, I've wanted to create a space for these masterpieces which are a milestone in technical and/or creative Quality - in other words 'Doomed for Eternity' (love the little analogy to our new platform ;))

Best of the Week

by Roberto

'Best of the Week' is both a group and a contest. Every week we'll post the shot we prefer fromour streams and we'll vote for the preceding one. A blog/group will host the most appreciated shots of each week.

Minimalism

by Manganite

Maybe I should also start a pseudo group. There's nothing for minimalistic shots, so post them here!

Black & White

by Manganite

I think you all have some beautiful black and white captures in your streams, so poste them here. And if you came along a wonderful b&w capture in your friends stream, invite him to this group.

________________________________________________________________________________________

Nachdem nun mehr und mehr fantastische Bilder den Weg in unsere Community finden, und da wir noch auf die Einführung von Gruppen warten, wollte ich eine Plattform schaffen in der diese Meisterwerke, die ein Meilenstein in technischer und/oder kreativer Hinsicht sind - in anderen Worten 'für die Ewigkeit bestimmt sind ('Doomed for Eternity' - (Ich mag die Analogie zu unserer neuen Plattform)).

Viel Spass in unserer neuen Platform, Danke, das ihr diese 'Perlen' mit uns teilt.

Bitte setzt den "Member Tag", wenn ihr 'Mitglied' dieser Gruppe werden wollt - und - bitte ladet doch auch selber Meisterwerke anderer Photographen ein!

das sollte Deutsch sein :)

________________________________________________________________________________________

Vedendo sempre nuove fantastiche immagini farsi strada in questa nuova comunità e in attesa che i gruppi vengano implementati, ho voluto creare uno spazio per quei capolavori che sono una pietra miliare come qualità tecnica e/o creativa - in altre parole 'Destinati ad essere eterni', 'Doomed for Eternity' (mi piace questa piccola analogia alla nostra nuova piattaforma ;)).

Quindi, per favore, se trovate un lavoro che ritenete valga la pena di conservare, per favore invitatelo in questo blog, in dimensione media.

Potete usare il seguente testo (tanto per non ricadere nelle vecchie abitudini di Flickr):

Testo per invitare:

--------- copia sotto .. ------

BRAVO! Your Image is of outstanding quality in technique, composition and artwork. It will be remembered for ever and is a milestone in photographical artwork.

Please post this image to the Doomed for Eternity blog and tag it with "Doomed for Eternity".

------- ... fino a qui -------

Godiamoci questa nuova piattaforma e grazie per aver condiviso queste piccole perle.

Per favore, aggiungete il vostro "Member Tag" se volete aggregarvi a questo "gruppo" e, per favore, spargete la voce e invitate le altre gemme che troverete !!

e questo era Italiano :)

(Mille gracie Roberto)

a first try for "old style" comments ;)

I saw this in the www.ipernity.com/blog/keessmans/12692"> 5+ Voters blog and Voted for it.

Just take care that th "<" and ">" are properly translated to "lt;" "gt;" with an "&" at the beginning to make it copyable!

Images are a bit more complex as you have to put some more code inside.

Lutz-R. Frank has added a post:

Just managed to get the first ninty Images over to Ipernity. A batch tool would be something really nice, but on th other hands it forces more 'to think' and leave some garbage behind.

Hope you'll like what you see ;) Thanks for all your nice comments & faves !

"Latest Updates" of your Network

nobody@ipernity.com (Lutz-R. Frank) — Fri, 22 Jun 2007 07:37:25 +0000

Lutz-R. Frank has added a post:

Wow, this site develops day to day - obviously. Just started to think about missing being able to see the recent posts of my friends, I see it already implemented on "My Network". Just click "latest docs & posts" and you've have it back.

And - btw. - the blogging part is really a great addition (I'm used to blog since nearly six years - but having this "all in one" solution is really perfect.

It's already getting quiet on flickr?

nobody@ipernity.com (Lutz-R. Frank) — Thu, 21 Jun 2007 12:46:23 +0000

Lutz-R. Frank has added a post:

Have you made a similar experience? I confess, I'm running currently on both platforms, but found that my "Recent Photos" List of my Contacts Friends/Family - which I normally monitor and comment on - has been shrinking today from five to six pages to less than two pages. (And even within those are a few who live a double life between ipernity and flickr at the moment...)

Could this be a first sign for the flickr-e-migration?

Official Answer to the Censoring-Topic ... :/

nobody@ipernity.com (Lutz-R. Frank) — Thu, 21 Jun 2007 06:52:19 +0000

Lutz-R. Frank has added a post:

The Official Answer to the "censoring" of German users, make your own mind ...

¨ Stewart Pro User says: name reply / icon reply As of a short time ago, we changed the way the content filter setting works for German members, allowing them to turn SafeSearch off to allow photos flagged as 'moderate'. As we’ve stated before, Flickr’s intent is never to censor content, but rather to comply with local legal restrictions. In Germany, local law (Jugendmedien-Staatsvertrag JMStV) requires stringent age verification in order to display online content that could be considered harmful to minors. After further researching our available options, we decided to adjust our policy in Germany to enable pictures rated as “moderate” to be visible for our users starting today. We've received plenty of feedback from our members on this and hopefully this change helps address some of the desires expressed while still complying with legal requirements regarding age verification. We are still limiting access for users in Germany to the "restricted" category on Flickr, which applies to pictures not considered appropriate for kids and teenagers according to local law. At this stage, pictures rated as "restricted" can only be uploaded and viewed privately, but not displayed publicly. We are continuing to actively evaluate various technical options, including exploring whether there is a way we can verify users' age which would meet the very high standards set by German law, and which would offer additional choice to our members in Germany. ¨

Ouch - that's rather unsatisfiable ... it doesn't touch the core of all the reasons for the users being upset. Sorry, that's not sufficient, flickr ...
