Although the big sites may be attractive, sometimes the smaller ones can be a good choice too. Any of the sites previously talked about would be an excellent alternative for your video uploads. With sites like YouTube that receives a hundred million hits a day, it is easy for your video content to get lost in huge number of daily uploads. Smaller sites sometimes offer better viewer-ship since your recently uploaded video stays in the list longer.

Almost anyone you talk to has an idea of what YouTube is. DailyMotion is another site that most tech savvy people know by name. They are the big players in the world of online video sharing. With the explosive growth that site like YouTube have fueled when it comes to video, other sites are popping up that allow for video sharing. This article will take a look at some of those other sites.

If you like the look and feel of sites like YouTube and Dailymotion there are two others that also allow for the same type of video uploads. Sharkle is one site that follows along the same lines as the video giants. The site has an easy to use interface and makes it easy to create communities with people you know to share your videos. Sharkle also has some interesting features such as their ad mixer and contests.

The other, YouTube-like site that I will talk about today is SelfCastTv. The site is listed as beta, but it does have a nice clean interface and an interesting way of organizing the user’s videos. The channel feature on SelfCastTv makes it easy to categorize your videos. It also makes it easier to find the types of videos you like to watch. Either site can be a great choice if your new to the world of online video, because with a smaller user base your videos don’t get lost in the mix.

If blogging is more along the lines of what you like to do there are two other video sites that cater more to video bloggers. Flukiest is one of the best video blogging sites. More than video blogging it is really a social networking site. Flukiest is the first social networking site that caters to people who want an easy way to share photos or video. ZippyVideos is another website that focuses as much on community as it does video.

The site seems to be the smallest of the websites that we have talked about so far, but small sometimes has it’s advantages too. If you tend to use online video as your way of journaling or blogging one of the community focused sites can be an excellent choice.

The other two sites worth mentioning are Vmix and ShortBrainTV. Vmix, although it has some features like those found on the other sites listed here, tends to cater more to a business audience. They do have user submitted video, but their focus is on business solutions. That isn’t surprising really, since Vmix was started by some of the big names in the media industy. ShortBrainTV (formerly known as bliptv) caters to the creative types. ShortBrain is a collection of online amateur and professionally produced short movies and animations. Whatever your tastes or intentions, there are a lot of great sites on the internet for those wanting to share their videos.

How The Art Of The Unspoken Word Can Be Funny

Comedies Past And Present In Radio And Tv
By dror klar

When the radio was invented it suddenly became possible to hear entertainers of all kinds by many people all at once. It changed the way that we were entertained in our homes.

Suddenly there was an alternative to sitting around the fireplace and listening to each other. We could sit around the fireplace and listen to more interesting strangers.

There was a variety of programs to listen to, including funny ones. When the radio was invented and began to be a common item in our homes, there were wars and the depression to contend with.

People loved the times that they could escape all these real and depressing situations with the laughter that could be found from listening to radio.

With the invention of television, we had even more exposure to comedy on demand. Everyone loves to laugh and many of those first television shows were funny ones. Texas Star Theatre had Milton Berle and was a variety show. Many of the acts that were done on this show and others like it, were done in the vaudeville style.

The situation comedy was our next venue for very good funny material. I Love Lucy was one of the most memorable, but not nearly the only one.

Ozzie and Harriet, Leave it to Beaver, Father Knows Best and others, would often depict an idealized family life that was a little to good to be true, but everyone loved to watch these programs and they all can still to be seen today because of cable and satellite television channels.

Situation comedies that we watch on television since the 1970’s try to give us a more realistic picture of what true family life is like. When it was presented to us in the way that All in the Family was, it was easier to find things associated with the way our lives really are and they can be hilarious. There are unfortunately real people in some of our families exactly like Archie Bunker.

Stand up comedians have also played a big part in our comedy choices over the years. Many of these first stand up comedians originated on the stages of vaudeville too. Then they were heard on radio and then television.

Milton Berle, Groucho Marx, Jack Benny, and Bob Hope were some of the first really successful ones. They were often the master of ceremonies of television shows and the comedic monologues that they did were an important part of a program.

We still have all these comedic forms that we can enjoy today through radio and television. They still liven up our lives on a daily basis. If we have had a bad day, it is easy to come home and turn on the tube and watch something funny. It will just about always feel better.

Funny Videos and the Explosion of Videos on the Internet
By James Lim

With the arrival of YouTube, the scenario of videos on the internet has changed. Previously, people had to host videos on uploading sites or used to make a purchase of it. Now sites like YouTube, which provides uploading of videos for free but more than that it’s ease of use has changed everything. This is the main reason for its expansion even in countries like India, where lot a of people still use Dial-up connections. Such people earlier were not able to download these large videos but sites like YouTube made it possible now.

You can find almost all kinds or types of videos on the internet ranging from TV serials, MovieClips, Speeches, Songs, Tips and Tricks etc. But what I have noticed is that large number of people prefer to watch Funny Videos be it of any kind. e.g. Funny animal videos (I remember Discovery Channel used to broadcast one such programme), Funny incidents, Jokes, Shows, Clips etc. Funny videos category constitutes about 21% of all the videos together making it most favourite category onthe internet. All other types together consitute the remaining 79%.The reason behind this could be that, people often watch TV, Movies etc to get relaxed and hence they funny stuffs because it helps them to relieve their work or other load and get relaxed.

Now as more and more number of people started streaming(or watching) videos, it aroused interest of advertisers in this medium. Hence now, you see video ADs too on the internet which once in sometime used be only text link. Popular categories like Sexy Videos gets lots of hits, which make them an ideal platform for advertising. (Though it was more than a decade ago). Now this over use termed as ‘Explosion of Videos’ gave rise to two main factors:

1. Good factor is, it became a medium of promotion, entertainment, earning money.

2. Bad factor is that, it’s constantly adding pressure on the ISP’s (Internet Service Providers) to upgrade their insfracture.

Here are some facts about video streamings:

* YouTube claims to stream about 54.7 million per day which are unique streamers.

* About 70% of total US people or you can say 123 million people in US streamed videos in Januray.

* 7.20 Billion videos were watched in all by total interne audiences

* Peak time was 5pm to 8pm and was higher on weekends by about 60% as people are free at their homes.

Besides, these there are other reasons too, like expanding of broadband connections all over the world which further provides convenience to people.According to statistics by CacheLogic, which is a network infrastructure company, about 60% of the Internet traffic is over Peer-to-Peer swaps and about 60% of those swaps are involved in video sharing. In 1990’s too there was a similar problem when Audio and Video streaming was a new thing and large number of people wanted to watch the famous Victoria’s Secret fashion show. The server which used to host that video would collapse due to streaming requests.

So now again there is a requirement of a technology that eases this network traffic congestion and help defuse bandwidth burdens.But in the end I would like to say is that, it’s really fun watching your favourite Funny Vids, right
