Flickr is now allowing for videos to be uploaded, but the max length can only be 90 seconds and they are calling them "long photos". Here's some thoughts on the form that might possibly be of interest to you animated gifers. Are short loops more like photos than video?
I just finished writing a long media grant app that positioned mine as video sourced.
The question is very much related to the problem lots of video artists have when their work falls into the grey area between narrative and image. Do I screen my video in a room with chairs and a beginning and an end? Or do I set it up to loop endlessly in a gallery, so people can come and go?
That's never an issue with me, I'm a merciful video artist, people can leave anytime.
