@S.J.N – very well said and see your point.

Failblog has content that they vette themselves with their website.

When we talk copyright.. am talking full episodes of SNL.

Failblog pushes the limits on content but don’t believe they go over.

You guys host Failblog videos. If anything, that’s enough for me.

Hi. I just wanted to know how I can get someone banned from your site. I know this is probably the wrong place, but they sent me a message about how they want to give me 12.5 million if i do a certain thing. I can post the message here if you want. I saw something like this on tv and want it to get straightened out before someone falls into their trap. their username is stell01. they claim they’re from africa, their profile says they’re from Brooklyn, and their email is a france yahoo email. If you want to see the message but don’t want me to post it, my username is OSXLeopard. They sent me two identical messages since i signed up last night. But, despite this person ruining it, i love your service and am glad to be a member.

thanks,
Alex

[...] Viddler only allows upload of video for which the member owns copyright. It tends to focus on user-generated content. Viddler is a small company, and its not clear how they intend to derive revenue from their services. But small can also be an advantage. The staff and community seem friendly and attentive. While Youtube obviously offers a larger user-base, it can seem a little more impersonal. Viddler openly identifies community and its anti-piracy stance as among its core strengths. [...]

Every time I show Viddler to someone I hear the same damn thing, “So it’s like a cooler YouTube?” To call Viddler YouTube would be shortsighted. I’ve never really seen Viddler as a YouTube competitor. Sure, it’s an online video service, but that’s pretty much where the similarities end for me. Viddler is more like a blog community than a video sharing destination. I don’t go to Viddler to find crappy live concert videos from U2. I go to hear opinions, learn things, find new ideas… meet people. It’s all about people.

But… If Viddler could get as big as YouTube, and maintain their vision (which I have no doubts you will), then it COULD potentially re-envision online video for the rest of us. Personally, I’d like to see that, because I’m tired of watching crappy videos of things that don’t matter. I want to see community-building videos about people and things that actually matter, or are actually entertaining.

Keep up the good work, and know you’ve got supporters. You’ve got a good product, and an awesome vision.

Sorry for the mini-blog post… Just been bugging me, and you had the perfect place for me to vent
