Another comprehensive review of online video sites. Someone needs to make a “top 20 list of online video site reviews.” Maybe I’ll do that. Tomorrow.
California YouTube star Cory Williams, who is also known as Mr. Safety, reported to the New York Times that he is earning more than $200,000 annually by creating videos on YouTube (he said $17-$20K per month, so I took an average times 12). “Half of the profits come from YouTube’s advertisements, and the other half come from…
You know, he may be one of the most over-exposed YouTubers of the summer. But he’s absolutely one of my favorite YouTube personalities. Having met him, I can tell you he’s really centered and a wholesome family man. So that makes videos like this Moto Man (in which he spins his motorcycle around his house…
HappySlip, the 5th most subscribed YouTuber, is selling her videos via DVD. To give you an idea of the affinity between the former New Yorker and her fans, I’ll remind you of when I broke into her apartment and stole her stapler. I later auctioned it on eBay and it raised more than $850 for…
Old Spice’s 2014 Superbowl ad shows moms singing and stalking their sons
I love a slow-boil video, and this one delivers some hysterical prank bits that become increasingly tasteless… from desktop and fax pranks to “shivving” and murder. All with whispy 1940s commercial music. “Five April Fool’s Office Pranks” on Break.com. I also enjoy the repetition of a gag, like this skinny Brit’s unbridled enthusiasm when his…
A team of young writers and producers lost their network show, and decided to create their own broadband content for a young online demographic. Black20 offers viral content from a small office in Brooklyn, New York. Says the website: “Our office is small, our desks don’t have drawers, and the heat craps out at least…

Here are the one’s I like.
Atom Films – higher quality more professional films, revenue sharing
Reel to reel – higher quality, more professional videos.
Revver – opportunity for revenue sharing but difficult to get exposure for your video. No groups to join that I could find. They take any video except hard porn. There is some sort of review process for selecting videos for Verizon VCast that in my opinion is not very good. The majority of their videos on V-cast aren’t that great even though they have lots of great stuff avilable on their site that they could use instead. The contests are interesting and fun.
Flixya – opportunity for revenue sharing but difficult to expose your video. Haven’t seen any contests yet. No groups to join.
Friendster- Very difficult to embed a video from another site. It can be done, but only in a round about way.
Jumpcut – bad quality video but best web design by far. It’s the best site for getting videos viewed by others), more contests than all others I have seen. By far, the most fun. The major two downfals are the you can’t embed videos from other sites, and the quality is not as good as others mentioned above.
Magnify.net – This is best for small private groups. Don’t expect high exposure from the groups within this site.
Here is a link to a very good discussion anout the top sharing sites. I found it quite useful and didn’t see anything that I disagreed with. The only thing I would add is that Jumpcut’s web design is superior. However, their video quality is not nearly as good as the majority of their competitors, and there is no way to wornload a video from their site.

By they way, I saw some of your videos is Rever, I really loved the ones with your kids. I use my kids in a lot of my videos too and have one of many up on Revver called, “Where’s My Dog Treat?”.
