hmm.. are the blipper boys scanning the vlogospheric radar blips? Mike, Charles? I know you prob have a script to scan this groups rss for blip comments, right ;-)
I'm interested to hear more of your opnions and reviews sull... do you do a services and tools guide on vlogdir?
it's been on my long ass to-do list. the sources you mentioned are good.. but i havent had the time to look for better ones or create one myself.
anyone else have a resource for this?
Oh... Waz.... i dont usually promote my other project, since its technically not out of beta etc... but you can give videobloggers.org a spin. It's like the sister companion project to vlogdir.... and is made possible by partnering with ibiblio.org who provides the free hosting.
videobloggers.org is a front-end to their hosting... like the ourmedia.org/archive.org deal.
I have not done any speed comparisons so it's up to you to get a feel for it.
I use it and it's typically fine.

But IA has been notoriously slow. It's not meant for VideoOnDemand but rather for archival storage.
Supposedly, they are and/or want to scale up to meet the demands of Open Media Distribution.
Blip.TV is faster and more reliable, stable and easier to use etc....
I have noticed that of late the download speed has slowed a bit but that could be unique to my experience.
They do use some throttling but not sure if that is only on uploads or not.
Blipper boys can chime in.Ha! You said "blipper boys"... I love it.In case you don't get it... you know when you have a hit webservice when people openly start giving you knocknames in public. It's a cult marketing indicator.I've not thoroughly tested other free services speed but VSocial.com is an overall great option.
Otherwise, if you can afford about $100 a year or less.... use dreamhost or 1and1.
I'm interested to hear more of your opnions and reviews sull... do you do a services and tools guide on vlogdir?As of yet I've not seen any sorts of tool and tools "guides" and "reviews" rise to the top. Steve garfield does some, and their's a cool guide for ipod compatible videos though I forget the url off hand and I'm talking more about tools and services not content. There's DV Guid, but it's non-specific. What others have I missed?-Mikesull

download quickly enough. Ideally I'd like to host the videos myself,
and I was doing this initially, but I started uploading to the
Internet Archive a while back because our bandwidth costs were getting
out of control.
I've started moving a few videos across to blip.tv which seems faster
on the face of it. Has anyone done any in-depth comparison of the
speed of the blip compared with IA? What is the most blazingly fast
free service available (if there is one)?
