The throwaway items that are still very watchable, but hardly worth spending the time to upload to a separate service. What Flickr is trying to do with these small clips is provide a place for people to post and share the little videos they're capturing on their digital cameras. You can also jump to the full-quality version of it with one click. Flickr videos can be played right in the stream of thumbnails.
The frame rate also maintains 30 FPS, which is half the speed of video captured on most modern point and shoot digital cameras, but a step up from the 12 FPS that was available while I was testing the service over the weekend. The system has been designed to scale any clip you can throw at it, including high-definition from high-end point-and-shoot cameras or your HD-capable camcorder.
That's not to say videos will look poor and grainy, though. It's a far cry from the arms race of higher quality and unlimited length offered by services like Vimeo, Viddler, and even YouTube to a certain degree. The company has taken a very different direction than I originally imagined by limiting user video clips to just 90 seconds. Free members will still be able to view these clips, but will be unable to add their own, at least for the time being.

The photo service is rolling out the capability to upload video clips of up to 150MB to its paying Pro members. Today Flickr is introducing the single biggest change to its service since launching in 2004-video.
Update: Information about the frame rate has been updated, see more below.
