Everybody knows the leading video sharing sites: YouTube et Dailymotion.

But do you know the other online video sharing services? Brightcove, Metacafe, Blip.tv, 5min, the Chinese 6.cn or the French wat.tv and kiwiwid, etc?

An interesting article from the blogmagazine Website Magazine identifies 55 Internet video systems and proposes a ranking.

Indeed, this list is not so comprehensive because it does not take into account online video sites from Asia. Did you know that the Chinese, Japanese or Korean Internet users are among the most active users of all kind of online multimedia content? Their usage - and therefore their associated search activities - of images, photos, audio & video files is far more intense than in Europe. Besides our Blogdimension.com stats tend to confirm these different ways of using a search engine according to the fact that the user originates from Europe or some other part of the world. Even inside Europe we notice a difference between English speaking and French speaking users in regard with their multimedia usage of the Internet!

At Blogdimension.com we do not limit ourselves at proposing the always same links to Dailymotion or YouTube videos, videos that everybody sees, comments or recommends… We have built our own index of links to video sharing systems. Here is a shortlist of the online video platforms that you can access through Blogdimension search modules:

Blip.tv (USA) Try “blip.tv/file” on Blogdimension.com “Blogs search” tab (for the moment)
Brightcove (USA) “http://www.brightcove.com/”
CNN (USA) “http://www.cnn.com/”
Flipclip (Japan) “http://www.flipclip.net/clips/”
Glumbert (USA) “http://www.glumbert.com/media”
Ifilm / Spike (USA) “http://www.ifilm.com/video”
Kiwivid (France) “http://fr.kiwivid.com”
Lulu.tv (USA) “http://www.lulu.tv/”
Metacafe (USA / Israel) “www.metacafe.com/watch”
Milkandcookies (USA) “http://www.milkandcookies.com/link/”
Myspace video (USA) “http://vids.myspace.com/”
Revver (USA) “http://revver.com/watch”
Sevenload (Germany) “http://en.sevenload.com/videos”
Twango / Nokia (USA) “http://www.twango.com/media” (mix of audio and video sources)
Veoh.com (USA) “www.veoh.com/”
Vidilife (USA) “http://www.vidilife.com/” –> Little personal “flash” on this video
Vimeo (USA) “http://www.vimeo.com/”
Wat.tv (France) “wat.tv/video”
Yahoo video (USA) “http://video.yahoo.com/video/”
Zippyvideos (Canada) “http://www.zippyvideos.com/”
5min.com (Israel) “www.5min.com/Video”
6.Cn ou 6rooms (China) “6.cn” a really terrific Chinese plateform!
…

There are literally hundreds of thousands of links leading to these online sharing sites! But our “bot” (robot or crawler) is scanning and detetecting new video sites everyday 24/7. So the shortlist above is going to increase automatically in the next few weeks.

You can find a whole universe of video links by using Blogdimension.com. At the moment you will find these links to videos in the “Blogs” tab. We are currently sorting out our databases to migrate all the video links “squatting” the “Blogs” database to the “Video” one. All will become a bit more coherent soon. It’s not our fault if Blogdimension’s crawler is doing a too good job by swallowing everything it finds on his way like an enourmous digital sperm whale!

Oh yes! Don’t forget that you can find loads of YouTube and Dailymotion video links via the dedicated “Video Search” tab. All the Blogdimension video links should be available under the “Video Search” module in the short term (after the migration job).

Blogdimension is heading - step by step - to more exhaustiveness with the aim to bring an ever growing user value by proposing more choice, new options and a greater multimedia experience! Let’s Blogdimension be one of your alternative search engine!

Thanks for your support!
