The internet has certainly changed our lives. Some would argue that it has improved it. One thing is for sure, we are more connected. We can share more. From photo’s to videos, we can splash it all over the internet for all to see.
In the past, the internet was not that media friendly. We were amazed when we were able to display small pictures on our websites. Now we can show all types of media. From sound to video.
Video share websites are changing the way we view media and the media we view on the Internet. Whether you’re looking for a clip of your favourite movie, an important newscast, a how–to video or just some good entertainment, you’ll find it on the Internet. Maybe you want to share that funny pet video you recorded recently, or perhaps your child's graduation.
Video share sites make it easy to browse, find and watch your favourite streaming video, as well as give you the ability to upload your own masterpieces.
Video is so much part of our lives these days. Everything from cell phones, laptops, even key chain trinkets have video cameras now days. Video sharing sites make it easy to share those captured moments with all and sundry.
There are currently over 60 video share websites on the Internet and the number continues to grow. Video syndication is a hot blog marketing tactic. With a lot of bloggers entering what is now termed vlogging. Blogging with video.
Here is a list of the top five free video sharing sites.
- YouTube - YouTube wasn’t the first video share site, but it has become the best video sharing site
- Metacafe - Offers quality videos and a dedicated review system that keeps content up to high standards.
- Break - The vast majority of the videos on Break are humorous, whether they are bloopers and blunders caught on video or scripted clips created by users. They don’t allow you to just upload anything.
- Dailymotion - Most of the videos on Dailymotion tend to be more professional in nature. They have newscasts, commercials and short films.
- Vimeo - Is quickly becoming both a popular video share site and a social networking site. It has very little video creation tools and resources. Your video needs to be finished before you upload it.
Honourable mention –Zoopy – A south African based video sharing site. Still has a way to go, but impressive. Zoopy brings all four media types into one location.
