This site is similar to YouTube because it lets people socialize around the video. However, since it's less popular, don't count on as many people being exposed to your work.

Revver is less focused on community, and but more useful for making money off your video. The Revver service will match ads to your video, and give you a piece of the action from whatever the advertiser pays. And here's the kicker - when a fan plays the video on their own site, they can earn money from it too. Money, money, money for eveyone!

This service sucks, but since it's by MySpace, it is very popular. And since this site is popular, you should know about it.

What's cool about Google Video is the ability to upload any length video and make it available for download to an iPod or PSP, if you so choose. In the future, Google plans to allow small time directors, such as yourself, the ability to sell their video downloads, just like the big boys do now.

Grouper is unique because they also provide desktop software that allows you to edit your videos, and upload them directly to the site. SONY bought Grouper, so you can probably expect your clips to lay next to SONY's library of music videos and movie trailers.

Yahoo Videos doesn't just allow uploading of your videos, they also search for vids, no matter what site they're hosted on. In theory, this may get your video a bigger audience than some of the hosting only services.

AOL's video hosting service is very similiar to YouTube, which isn't a bad thing. It's not good either.

MSN's hasn't launched their YouTube clone yet, but you can expect it to be popular for the same reason MySpace Video is.

DailyMotion has a heavy focus on social networking, with the ability to create groups, leave comments, and ratings, etc.

MetaCafe stresses that they try to review all of the sites videos, and promote the best ones.

If your video is good enough, VH1 may select it to appear on its Web Junk 20 program.

Motionbox tries to cure the problem of sharing long videos by allowing you to highlight and tag portions of the video that are the most interesting parts.
