Sunnyvale, Calif. - Yahoo's (NASD: YHOO) Flickr photo-sharing site on Wednesday launched an anticipated video-sharing feature for its 42 million monthly users.

The site supports up to 90 seconds of personal video footage and 150MB maximum file sizes, and will be moderated by a combination of automated abuse-spotting mechanisms, community review and the Flickr team.

"Video on Flickr is an extension of what Flickr is already doing with more than 2 billion photos worldwide -- providing a place where people capture and share life's daily moments," said Kakul Srivastava, general manager of Flickr.

Yahoo said that a recent survey it commissioned found that more than 40% of those ages 18-44 are capturing personal video clips with their digital cameras, but most are not taking advantage of video-sharing sites.

Fifty-five percent said they merely play back video clips for friends on their camera or a PC, and 20% don't share their video clips at all.
