By researching about publishing videos on web 2.0 using search engines such as google I came across a site called Movavi.com. This site shows people the ways they could have their work publish or the best place to post home videos. The site was useful as it helped me put a perspective on how many people my video could reach and the type of time it would take to be able to get a video uploaded to each site. When choosing which video sharing sites to review, they took into account their popularity, ease-of-use, file size limitations, format flexibility, and options to download, post or podcast the video.
As the table shows Youtube being the top resource however the supported filed are limited compared to sites such as MetaCafe. It is also reasonably good in terms of storage limites never the less the limites are not as good as sites such as iPikz or Daily Motion therefore you have to choose if you want less storage however an overall round good upload with reasonable about of supported formats or if you choose to export to a specific format but have bigger storage limits. Youtube as a platform on its own is a high contenter across all resources for uploading videos and has messaging, comment and post appliances within it. A downfall to the site is that it has no downloading options where as other sites do therefore people would have to do their research before uploading. iPikz is a great website for sharing a video that can be distributed quickly to social media sites. This can be good for getting feedback for your work and putting a video out there quickly.
If people want to share HOME VIDEOS with family and friends and are looking for ease of registration and navigation as well as options for posting and downloading. "These sites have already gained reputation for providing flexible, easy-to-use services."
These sites are brilliant for sharing videos on but more so if you have premium account which are paid for. Restrictions are lifted once the one off payment or monthly membership has been paid and capability of storage is increased by a very large amount. These features are available on the Viddler and Vimeo sites never the less they both offer free memberships with the restrictions of 500MB per week uploaded and advertisements taken away.
These are some other types of videos that could be shared however they do not relate to me. I wanted to include a snapshot of this for future reference and how much diversity there is in research.
