Flickr adds video
I know there’s a been a lot of anti-video ranting about this, but I think it’s brilliant. My camera takes both photos and videos. When I first started using a digital camera (in 1999), I took many photos and not too many videos. But as memory increased and video got easier to share, I’ve been taking more and more video. So for any event in my life, I have a mixture of photos and video. But there’s never been a single workflow for getting the memories of the event into the hands of my friends (and thus, I never really shared videos). Flickr is solving that, and I think it’s great. Good work Flickr.

The 90-seconds in length limit on videos makes Flickr video pretty much strictly for camera-movies, such as you describe. Which is fine.
But it looks like the “Flickr for Video” video commons of the moment is still Vimeo, IMHO.
