Nathan Weinberg at Inside Google is claiming that YouTubeYouTube has moved ahead of Google VideoGoogle Video in terms of popularity. I totally agree. But it’s not just GoogleGoogle – these guys have moved ahead of everybody! This week, I caught a roundup of the “Flickrs of video” – here’s the list:
-Clipshack
-VSocial
-Grouper
-GoogleVideo
-Metacafe
-Castpost
-VimeoVimeo
-Revver
-OurMediaYouTube is way ahead of many of these services – YouTube videos are appearing on blogs and websites all over the place. OurMedia is also excellent, but it’s a non-profit and I’m more interested in startups right now. I’m also a fan of Grouper – it’s definitely one to watch.
Now correct me if I’m wrong, but the only video sharing service with a clear business model right now is Revver – they’re putting ads in videos and splitting the revenue with the content creator. Even this seems like a difficult thing to pull off – can they earn enough from the ads to pay for their bandwidth and reward the content creators? I’m not sure – but I’m keen to find out.
UPDATE (October 9th 2006): Google has bought YouTube. See this post for the announcement and this one for the rumors.
