Flickr has launched its long-awaited video-hosting feature, Laughing Squid notes. Flickr community manager Heather Champ posted a puppet-show video to demonstrate. As expected, video uploads are limited to 90 seconds in length, or 150 megabytes in size — not high-definition oeuvres, but the kind of clips casually shot with a digital camera's movie feature. For the serious stuff? Users will have to turn to Flickr's corporate sibling, Yahoo Video. Wait — didn't Yahoo previously kill Yahoo Photos in favor of Flickr? Look for more purple blood to be shed over these dueling video sites.

Isn't "intentionally crippled" sort of one of the basic design elements of Flickr?
@macbeach: That's why the Yahoo acquisition seemed like such a great fit.
Great work Vimeo team on the video player. Err, um... wait this is Flickr? Did Yahoo outsource originality?
You know you're 250 when you announce your product launch with a parody of some blogger none of your intended customers have heard of.
@Paul Boutin - perfect, perfect comment.
