I purchased a Flip Ultra last week and received it in the mail yesterday. I thought I'd give it a test spin by video taping something that wasn't camera shy - Sunny.

Really, I wanted to see just how easy it is to get the videos off the camera, on to the web, and into my blog or an email to a friend.

The verdict is... easy.

I had to create a YouTube account to post videos, but since I didn't want to be a full exhibitionist, I was able to keep the video Private and share it with up to 25 people. I was easily have to embed the code into my blog post, and now Sunny is a star.

If you know of better video sharing/hosting services, I'd be open to other options. Let me know if you have a recommendation.

UPDATE: It turns out that I needed to make the video Public on Youtube to allow for it to be viewed through my blog post. I guess that's okay, but I guess I'd like to find something that isn't quite as exposed if I post videos. Something that allows me to post, store, share, and embed, but not necessarily full exposure to the wider world web.
