Flickr now hosts video

By Liz Foreman 

Flickr has entered the video space! (I’m a much biased Flickr Pro user.) The sexy, Vimeo-esque Flash player is basic but good looking, and I intend to try the service out during my lunch break.

Flickr’s blog is quick to point out that this isn’t YouTube. For example, uploads are limited to 150MB, about 90 seconds or less and you can’t choose your own video thumbnail. More details in the Flickr video FAQ.
