Hey Jay, Adrian and Susan,
   I like the interval approach for otherwise lengthy videos. Chunking
is a good idea; like a moving thumbnail. In a way, "mydayyesterday"
flickr group bootstraps flickr into something like 12second.tv. In
addition, I know users can drop photos as comments, but can they drop
flickr video as comments too? If so, then we might have a short but
entirely usable seesmic clone too ;)

Not entirely related, but this might change the way I record first
person video as a personal memory prosthetic. I'm trying to see if I
can use my wearable video camera outfit to capture my daily life, so I
will never forget. Steve Mann's glogging community are doing the same
thing with cameraphones [1], as they approach this from an
equiveillance perspective [2]

I've recently shared a 17min demo of how / why I do record my life as
completely as possible [3], and as you can guess, cataloguing and
searching through lengthy videos is still something I'm researching.
Right now I've tried tagging keyframes using services like Viddler,
but I might resort to using a thumbnail generator with hourly
intervals so I can quickly browse through them (as inspired in this
email thread).

Sorry I'm I'm going off tangent; just thinking out loud. :)
