As a lot of you may know by now, Flickr has just released its new video service. Available to PRO members, Flickr users can now post videos that stay within the 90 second/150mb limit. While 90 seconds may not seem a lot for the YouTubers and Viddlers out there, it’s perfect for those who like to submit short vlogs. Also, Flickr provides some great video resizing options for embedded videos, helpful for making those large videos fit into the divs of your WP layout.

Reports say that Flickr video posts work seamlessly with Wordpress’ WYSIWYG editor, unlike YouTube embeds which require either a plug-in or strict use of the HTML editor.
