Youtube clones

March 7, 2008 · Filed Under internet · 6 Comments 

Youtube has become the generic term for a video sharing website!

But there are several such sites now on the web, and not all of them are clones of Youtube in the real sense of the term, since some of them offer many add-ons and embellishments and even show a much better quality videos than Youtube.

Of late, I find that Youtube is not embed-friendly, to wit, when you click on the “Play” button on any web site with Youtube video, you get a solemn message stating “This video is not available”, but the video is available when you visit the youtube page of the video! Weird, what!

Here is an attempt to put together a comprehensive list of such video sharing websites, where you can upload, share or even edit, enhance and change format. Some sites even allow free downloads of the videos.

I have checked each link individually and have listed only the working sites. And I have handpicked the following few as good and hassle-free sites.

  1. Guba - Very good site, fast loading, better than Youtube
  2. Blip.tv - Variety shows, up and coming
  3. Daily Motion
  4. Google Video
  5. Metacafe — You can monetize your video clippings on the site!
  6. Music.com — High quality music videos
  7. Vimeo
  8. Revver
  9. Yahoo Video

    10. Here are the rest of them listed alphabetically:

  10. Blastro
  11. Blennus
  12. BoFunk funny pics and videos
  13. Break Funny stuff
  14. Buzznet
  15. CastPost Good one for adding your media to blogs straightaway
  16. Clipshack
  17. Crackle
  18. Current Highly functional
  19. EyeSpot
  20. Heavy Little smutty!
  21. Imeem
  22. JibJab — Jokes, cartoons, funny stuff galore
  23. JumpCut
  24. Kewego
  25. Live Leak
  26. MeadiaMax Online storage and share upto 25 gig!
  27. MSN Video MSN SoapBox
  28. MySpace MyspaceTV
  29. One World
  30. OurMedia
  31. PhanFare
  32. Peek Video Categorized and lots of media types
  33. PixParty
  34. Perfspot
  35. Put File
  36. Sharkle
  37. Spike
  38. StashSpace — Interesting site
  39. Street Fire Pics, videos…
  40. That Video Site
  41. Twango
  42. Veoh - This has also absorbed the now-defunct Stage6
  43. Video Code Zone
  44. VidiLife (more of “R” rated stuff :))
  45. Vuze
  46. Vsocial A different type of sharing…
  47. You Are
  48. Zippy Videos

As the internet is highly dynamic and the shelf life of websites being equal to that of a banana, the links may become dead as the sites conk off. If you find any change, please voice it on the comments box, so that I can edit the list accordingly.
