Nope, doesn't work for me either. I turned on translate and got:

Thanks for the report. I figure it is probably a project
running off one teeny pc, or the service was short-lived.

BTW, my browers don't seem to like imgur.com The site seems
to be heavily dependent on scripts to allow progress, or it
takes too long to respond - and then the browser gives up.

I friend just tried in on their smartphone, and the films
started to play.

Could the play-feature be configured to only operate for
tablets and smartphone and exclude standard pc browsers?

Yeah, I'm going to have to find something else. They want you to watch a 30 second ad now to upload one picture, F@(# that nonsense.

Just tried on my iPhone and it didn't work either. I turned on a VPN and set it to Europe/Lithuania and then they started to play on my phone.

I find that http://pics.rsh.ru/ is the friendliest. No
scripts. No ads.

VPN was the next thing I was going to suspect was required. I
don't use any VPN services, yet. I can't justify it for the
long-term.

Good to know. Thanks!

Another one that I noticed someone using is based on a SUSE
website or something like that. The message with a link to a
photo was posted just recently, but I don't remember what echo
it was in.

Someone else was telling me that they have no trouble getting
them without a VPN - but the success rate to start a stream
was not 100%.

I am also guessing that the feed is designed to only support
certain versions of browsers.

I don't think I will ever bother with Twitter. I don't
understand the necessity for it. The whole notiion of
following and tweeting seems to be just a sad commentary of
people seeking validation.

Twitter is like Reader's Digest for the current age.

I'd say Twitter is more like a combination CB radio + POTS party line. When too many people are on a channel, it can be a nightmare to follow the 40char posts. I think more people are just spending their time validating themselves as both followers and followees.
