subject: Forget Youtube, Do We Have Another Choice? Really? Do They Really Exist And What Are They? [print this page] The major news story this past year was not the increased cost of gasoline or the troubled economy or who won the Super Bowl. The biggest and most widely covered news story was that YouTube altered its format. Since its founding in 2005, YouTube has become a cultural phenomenon with nearly half (48%) of all Internet users visiting the site by the end of 2007. YouTube has many detractors, but it is still a very popular site. If we weren't on YouTube, where would we be?
Vidstyle is an excellent alternative to YouTube. The two sites differ in their content and in what type of material is permitted. An important distinction between the two sites is the content and what is permissible. The key is that Vidstyle does not host material that has not been created by viewers. YouTube, a subsidiary of Google, specifically requires that video uploads should "not be defamatory, contain pornography, copyright violations and material that might encourage criminal behavior.' This is very important due to the large size of the potential viewing audience. Due to its size and visibility, YouTube is under considerable scrutiny from watchdogs.
Vidstyle since it is a smaller company is able to operate with less attention, particularly on issues relating to copyrights. It has a much smaller video collection in comparison to YouTube. Vidstyle was the first site to use 720p HD. YouTube also offers video in this format but they were behind Vidstyle in doing so. Vidstyle has been very innovative in teaming with Canon on the "Story Behind the Still" contest. This event united a large social network with one of the world's largest camera companies. This project has elevated the status of Vidstyle in the video streaming arena.
