Alternatives To YouTube Video Sharing

Nine Other Services Reviewed

DVGuru posted an excellent review of 10 video sharing services (including YouTube) back in April of this year. All them are still thriving and several mentioned as “new” are now available.

The author tests each service’s quality of interface, editing and sharing functions.

In addition to the ten listed, I recommend checking out Motionbox and Dabble.

Will any of these supplant the Big Three (YouTube, Google, IFILM)? Probably not, but they are likely to keep them on their toes by applying pressure for continued improvement.

Personally, I’m most interested in Jumpcut, which promises the best online video editing capability so far.

Even More Video Services

You could spend days finding more services. For those on a research mission, these sites have reviews that should get you started:

• Testing Grounds: 33 services with regularly updated review and commentary by users and the service providers
• The MustseeBlog: 40 services reviewed and categorized in a matrix on Apr 10 2006. The site is slow to maneuver because of large graphics, but worth a look
