Michael Arrington from the TechCrunch has taken a look at nine sites similar to Flickr, but for videos. Additionally to the most well known YouTube, he tested eight others worth a look. These are CastPost, ClipShack, DailyMotion, Grouper, OurMedia, Revver, Vimeo and vSocial. If you want to start sharing your videos on the web, this is the place to decide which of these services is the best for you. As always, have a look at the comments as well, there are some additional links to other similar services if the nine he tested aren’t enough.

I would strongly encourage checking out vSocial. While we are very strong on the lowest common denominator features for a great video clip sharing site (i.e., it just works, has all the bells and whistles and is simple and quick thanks to our AJAX UI), a core part of our differentiation is in enabling users to actually “do something” with video; namely to tell stories, start conversations and extend blogs.
Three features that you can quickly check out yourself:
1. Share favorite videos via clipmails (a type of formatted email)
2. Create short videos via our “video roll” builder tools
3. Embed BOTH favorite clips and video rolls in a web site
I have written a post that articulates our vision called, “Short attention, short conversations and video clips.” Here is the URL: http://thenetworkgarden.blogs.com/weblog/2005/10/vsocial_video_c.html
vSocial is, of course, available at http://www.vsocial.com.
p.s. click the about box to get a quickie example of a video roll.
Thanks!
