Video on Facebook

Until a few days ago, I've tended to upload video to YouTube and then point to them from my Facebook page. There were restrictions on Facebook over file size and length -- you couldn't post anything longer than 2 minutes, for instance. But over the weekend, I decided up upload a short piece about the dozens of sparrows that live in our garden...well, feed here anyway. And lo and behold, the rules have changed. They're now even more flexible than YouTube. The file size is limited to just over 1Gb and each video can be no longer than 20 minutes long. IMHO, anyone who uploads a video that long is either being self-indulgent or lacks any editing skills. No-one apart from very close family is going to watch it. But it does offer much greater flexibility which could also make Facebook just as much a "video for business" tool as YouTube. Now that's certainly worth discussing in greater depth.
