Video on the Web All-Stars

I was recently asked to create a list of video syndication and distribution sites on the web. To create a definitive list would require a post much, much longer than this entire blog. I have compiled a few of my favorites and those I believe are market leaders.

 

I have created a rather diverse list of sites. Exploring every site may seem a little daunting at first. I have broken the list into examples of social networks and how user generated content is being incorporated in on-line communities. The second is a link to Brightcove with examples of how large corporations are using Brightcove's technology to create unique channels. Brightcove is by no means the only example of 3rd party channel creators. You also may want to browse around in the list of aggregators. This is where the real money appears to be right now. I think it is wise to have a familiarity with their model and approach. The last two are more of a list of hardware solutions and tech platforms. If you choose not to reinvent the wheel, it is likely you would use one of these solutions for distributing your content.
