The “Consumer’s Report” of Online Video Sites

testinnn.jpgCourtesy of Deirdre Straughan, here's a site that tests a lot of video players in one spot. Some of them load automatically, so you'll have to scroll down and pause. You'll be greeted by some cool music. Thanks, Deirdre, for bringing this to our attention and doing the testing that the rest of us are too lazy to do!

For more comments on various video sites, check out Loaded Pun. Great resource on the pro's and con's of each site.

Putting Media on Your Website

wimpy.jpgA Google ad caught my attention for WimpyMedia. Interesting site that displays various media through a collection of relatively low-cost tools. It's interesting to demo the variety of ways they can stream media. I'm guessing your hosting provider would have server requirements that enable these, but it's interesting to see how modular audio/video content can be served if you feel like doing it yourself.
