HNTBAOTI Volume 1: Turning Off Autoplay on Flickr Video
April 9th, 2008Author: DialogueMedia
Okay, here’s the first installment of what I hope to make a regular occurrence here at Open the Dialogue, and I’m officially calling it “How Not To Be Annoying On The Internet.” [Thanks, Chris!] Of course, HNTBAOTI as an acronym doesn’t exactly roll off your tongue, but whatever. We’ll be using Flickr Video to offer up sub-90 second videos / screencasts (and yes, that’s a GOOD limit to have), and the first volume is one of my personal favorites, turning off the nifty autoplay feature. It’s like turning off the keytones on your cellphone 30 seconds after purchasing a new phone, except…well, it’s just not on a cellphone.
In any case, without further ado, here we go.
Hope you enjoyed this installment, and we’ll hope to bring you more soon!
[ed: and before you ask, I did the screencast using SnapzProX on my iMac, and converted the file down to Web-ready using Apple's QuickTime Pro. The original file version wasn't working on upload but the converted, m4v file, did, so give that a whirl if you're unable to get .mov files working at first.]
