Video on Flickr! But 90 sec?

As a long time fan and a pro user of Flickr, I am pretty excited about their video support. The only catch though is that videos are limited to 90 seconds in length and 150MB in filesize.

To be honest with you, 90 seconds is really short. I am not a video editor and tend to keep raw clips on my hard drive. How can I say keep a video of a full presentation or wedding ceremony on Flickr for example?

I understand if they ease their limitation too much, Flickr will become a movie sharing site, but 90 secs is just too short.

Anyway I have uploaded a video for testing and embedded here:

    If you just refers to the length, yes. In context, I feel it is a bit different. I could tweet very easily in text, but it is harder to edit and upload videos.
