    I'm surprised you could write a post about these sites and not mention once that they are also some of the largest repositories for pirated TV and movies online. It's impossible to visit any directory of pirated content and not end up viewing content on these sites.

    Frankly, I figured everyone had assumed piracy issues were at play here so I didn't bother to mention. I mean, it's pretty hard to write about any video-sharing site (besides Hulu) that hasn't enjoyed the benefits of piracy.

    You're probably right, that these are some of the larger pirate repositories out there, but there are lots of other sources, and anyway, piracy is not the point of the story.

    I'll add an update in any case.

    Hi,
    Video sharing is all the rage those days. We all want to share our videos, to share our passions and the things we like. There are so many sites around to publish our videos on the web that it is sometimes hard to make a choice. We know some of them like YouTube, Revver or Dailymotion, but there are so many others competing to be the number one, or targeting a specific audience, whether geographically (China, Japan, Turkey...), by language (German, Arabic, French...) or for the kind of content they enable to publish (cooking, planes, extreme sports...).
    I have compiled a growing list of nearly 700 video sharing sites, video search engines, and video download sites that you can check at http://www.ilikesharingvideos.com
    For each of them, you will get useful information such as their history, the country from which most of their visitors come, their niche, their rank, their latest news...
    This site offers some other interesting features, like a forum about online videos, how to make money with your videos, how to create your own YouTube site, etc.
    So if you are interested in video sharing or online video marketing, give an eye to this site, it worths it.
    Cheers
