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.
