    Wow! What a list! I am the editor of AltSearchEngines, the network blog about all search engines for ReadWriteWeb.com.

  2. Joel Says:

    You missed dabble.com, comprehensive video search site which lets users create and share playlists. Finds video no matter where it’s hosted on the Web.

  3. Trooker Says:

    I have another for your list… Trooker (http://www.trooker.com ) is both a search engine and sharing site.

  4. Bart Myers Says:

    I have another as well. Check out SideReel. It’s a user editable search engine for video that combines elements of search with a wiki covering TV, film, music videos, viral videos and more.

    Give it a look-see.

    Thanks.

  5. Tom Says:

    Nice collection of web sites.

  6. John Wood Says:

    Here’s a new video sharing site (not just videos - any file type in fact) ShareNow.com

  7. Adam Says:

    Hi
    nice list, glad to see our SUMO.tv is on there too, we also have our own 24hr Live TV channel broadcasting content and users here in the UK as well as on the web and on mobile.

  8. Erin Says:

    Don’t forget SchoolTube.com, the moderated video sharing site for k-12. It’s unique because no videos show up live on the site until they have been viewed and approved by teachers.

    Their mission statement is “student produced, teacher approved”.

  9. Mark Robertson Says:

    Joel, Trooker, Bart, John, Erin - Done. I have also added these to the detailed list so if you have some other information I can include, let me know. I am happy to post about it.

    Adam, Thanks. Please feel free to email me any information about your site.

    Tom - thanks

    Charles - of course, thank you.

    Erin - thought I would mention that you may be interested in a new site about autism videos and education - http://reelseo.com/autism-videos/

  10. Myke Says:

    This is a very comprehensive list. Good job.

  11. Suresh Chowhan Says:

    Can you add Webcastr to this list?

    Thanks!

  13. Jason Alexander Says:

    another great one is wtfhumor.com

  14. Sam Jackson Says:
  15. Lafeeu Says:

    Thanks for the suggestion, I will take a look into Dorgem soon. If it’s video support works, it might have already beat what Yawcam offers. Yawcam is good, but there are things that could be better.

    P.S. Does anyone know of any applications such as this for Mac OS X?

  16. VideoSwiper Says:
