Yes, Taylor. It is not integrated with any other service such as vlogdir.com, if that is what you thought.
videobloggers.org is an alternative to ourmedia.org or blip.tv. You can use it as a mirror source or primary.
the intentions are to help alleviate some of the vlog community hosting services storage/bandwidth, providing vloggers with more options to get thier media distributed.
You would need to register for this service. Click on the 'hosting' link in top menu to do so.
Currently, the videoblog name you choose will be used as the subdomain. I considered making the username you choose to be the subdomain instead (like blip.tv) but decided against it for now. What do you think? Blip.tv style or blogger.com style?
videobloggers.org is both a blog and media hosting service. at this time, I have only activated media hosting and management features for users, since that is more important as all of you already have blogs setup elsewhere. However, the blog publishing engine will be turned on within a week for 2nd phase of beta testing. I will setup a few blog templates to choose from, like those you see on blogger or wordpress etcetera. More info will be provided soon.
I am aware of some issues and have resumed actively developing the service and will work on bugs and User Interface as much as I can in my limited spare time.
All of this is made possible by ibiblio.org, one of the largest online digital archives based at the University of North Carolina. The partnership aims to support the videoblog culture by providing free resources and publishing/distribution services for Open Content Creators. No commercial content is allowed.
Automated BitTorrent support of hosted media will be supported soon as well.
I encourage the continued use of any and all services that are available to us. This is just another free resource for vloggers and only vloggers.
Hope this helps. Email me off-list with questions or support requests. michael @ videobloggers.org

I guess I don't understand how to use your site. I would like to.
Is this something I need to setup somehow? Please pardon my ignorance.
