The Chronicle reported that there are more than 240 video sharing sites. Besides YouTube, which ones should be paying attention to?
Grouper, recently purchased by Sony, has a very dynamic interface. Plus it allows users to post video comments, and save their favorite videos to their iPod or post to their blog.
Motionbox is designed for the people who want to post videos yet not edit them. Throw up a ten minute clip, and using the thumbnail filmstrip users can highlight the thirty seconds they actually want their friends and family to watch.
Want to make money posting videos? YouTube won’t cough up the cash, but Revver and eefoof will. Supposedly, the guys in lab coats that produced the highly viral video of the Mentos and Diet Coke fountain made more than $25,000 in their share of advertising revenue from Revver.
Video production is becoming a standard skill that almost every teenager now knows how to do. Nobody cares if you can create a PivotTable on your Excel spreadsheet. They want to know if you can produce a highly viral video.
