His video also a great use of Flickr video and its 90 second limit.  When describing Flickr’s new feature to tech-savvy friends, I usually call it “Twitterized Video.”  Quite simply, if Twitter is microblogging (a short, concise form of blogging, with strict limits on length), then Flickr video is “microvideo.”

How does one go about coining a phrase?  Am I even first to use microvideo?  Just don’t steal it — that would break my heart!

(If you breaking my heart doesn’t represent density, then you haven’t watched Kevin’s video yet!)
