VideoEgg makes it so easy to push videos to other sites, and the videos look great when they arrive. By far, this was one of the most responsive services we tested.
YouTube is definitely the gold standard of video sharing sites. And, even though the site clutter is excessive and a few features need tweaking, there's definitely a reason why they're the one to beat.
Is this the P2P dream come true? Veoh's created a very solid, reliable video sharing experience sweetened by the lack of upload size restrictions. Bravo, Veoh!
The VideoEgg technology makes uploading, trimming, and viewing easy. Distribution options are limited, and one set of embeddable links provided were full of HTML errors.
Motionbox offers an exceptional feature that allows you to highlight specific bits of videos and share just the good stuff. Blog support and other distribution options are coming along. This site will definitely climb in the ranks as it matures.
This ad-free, clutter-free site was conceived around sharing, archiving, and uploading photos, so the support of video is sort of a bonus for existing members. Not really a place to start if you're serious about video.
We had a tough time uploading and converting a Windows Media file. Otherwise, the site's clunky design might be worth tolerating so long as it continues to offer more storage space than most sharing sites.
We could complain about the user interface and the lack of features, but why bother? The annoying Circuit City popup ads on every page will keep users away in droves.
We couldn't get Streamload to upload! We've heard raves about the sharing service and registering was dead easy, but uploading wasn't possible – even after rebooting, turning off the firewall, and changing to a different Internet connection. Maybe you'll have better luck.
Hard to see why the world needs YouTube and Metacafe. During a test upload the site couldn't recognize the same Windows Media file that 40-something other sites had no trouble accepting.
All of these online video websites continue to have growth and are growing their user base. I wonder how the news about Youtube costing Google will influence the direction they take
If you like video sharing here is a good site to watch free online tv. It's easy to use with lots of channels (over 1000) and you don't have to download anything. http://www.tvweb360.com
I would like to add www.jujunation.com. Most African sites never seem to make most list. This is a great site for African music videos and video sharing. It is also a social network site. Check it out to watch great African music videos and other stuff.
there has been a new addition in the crowded worlsd of video sharing www.vdopia.com, and it has done exactly the opposite of what everyone is doing.
a) there is no video search b) you cant view video publically c) you will have to register and create your own video network
hmmm sounds interesting and a dangerous ploy in the over crowded video sharing market space. But it has cught the imagination of users who are tired of watching amateur videos and small clips (it offers twice as much uploading space as compared to you tube and puts no restriction on number of uploads).
so whats unique: a) ability to share personal videos b) ability to import your all social network friends at one place c) ability to create your own personal video library d) the entire feel of the site
they have also integrated with other social network sites
