What Service is The Best for Uploading 30 second – 5 minute Clips of Video?
I should know this considering I work for Adobe and talk/think about Flash all day, but as I get ready to upload a bunch of clips from my trip to Dublin this week, I realize I have no clue what the best service is from a high quality/shareable/information standpoint. I’ve been using Facebook because it instantly hooks into my social network and I can tag people I know, but I also want something I can share. I’m currently uploading a bunch of clips to Flickr video but I’m pretty sure that in some cases this week I’ll be going over their 90 second limit. We’re going hiking around MacGillycuddy’s Reeks this week and I’m stoked to get some action shots so I hope I’ll be able to capture more than 90 seconds.
I’m looking for high quality, and ideally I’d like to be able to geotag the videos as well as embed them on my blog. I assume the last one is pretty much must-have but Facebook doesn’t let you do it. Any tips?

I’m really loving Vimeo.com. Not a facebook user personally, but it does have an Application available. Also supports HD quality video. IMO the quality looks much better than Flickr or YouTube.

I would prefer blip.tv because this is the only service that would allow your friends to actually download the video clip in original format – no loss in quality.

Use Blip.tv. They’re the best and most open that I’ve found. You can pay $90 a year for their “pro” (or whatever) account and get unlimited uploads, blah blah. And they have all sorts of different encodings, as Amit mentioned people can download the videos directly, and their Flash embed looks good.
They have a pretty good and multi-format API too for accessing video.
Overall, blip.tv is a great platform, and they’re in Twitter too!

I know I’m late to the party on this one, but viddler.com is a really cool service
