Previously hosted on Life Goggles, the Ultimate Guide to Online Video, Video Quality Comparison page, Video Comparison Matrix and Free Video Sharing eBook continue to be linked to on the internet, as hundreds of new online video sharing websites have started up since they were last published.
I intend to keep updating them with the major video sharing sites only, else it would be a never ending task. Add in all the video sharing intermediary, online video search, editing, streaming, ecommerce, advertising, and professsional broadcasting sites and there are literally thousands of online video sites available to the user. If all you want to do is watch TV online, check out the Online Video Guide.
I have reviewed 48 of the major video sharing websites (with a brief look at 13 video editing sites) and rated them for quality and ease of use. What BigBrainBoy called “easily the most useful thing we’ve seen online in a long time“.
So far I’ve looked at (in alphabetical order):
AOL Uncut, Blip, Break, Brightcove, Clesh, Crackle, Cuts, Dabble, Daily Motion, Dave.tv, DivX Stage 6, eefoof (VuMe), Eyeka, Eyespot, Fliqz, FlixYa, Forscene, Google Video, Gotuit, iFilm, JayCut, Jumpcut, Kewego, Kiwivid, LiveVideo, Lycos Mix, Metacafe, Mojiti, MotionBox, MyHeavy, MyNumo, MySpaceTV, Nelsok, Ning, OneTrueMedia, Photobucket, Revver, SevenLoad, Soapbox, Spymac, StashSpace, Sumo, Twango, Veoh, Viddler, Vidilife, Vidszoo, Vimeo, Vmix, VodPod, Vsocial, Wat, Webshots, WeShow, Yahoo Video, YouAreTV, YouTube, Yurth, Zeec and Ziddio. If you wish to be added to this list, please comment or contact me here.
