Microblogging site Tumblr has announced plans to make video sharing “crazy simple”.

According to Tumblr:

We’ll be rolling out crazy simple native video uploading to all accounts.

This is designed to be an easy alternative to full-blown video sites when all you want to do is post a quick video to your blog.

Tumblr notes these features & limitations:

• You can upload up to 5 minutes of video every day. You can break this up across many videos.
• Tumblr will immediately post most H.264-MP4-AAC videos without transcoding, including Photo Booth videos and iMovie’s “Export to iPod/iPhone”.

If you’re looking to post longer videos, customize your player, or host HD videos, Tumblr recommends using Vimeo or other full-featured video sharing site.
