Hi Chris,
I know you from other vb group. I can't believe no one else has stood up on their chair to scream, "You're giving away FREE video hosting websites?!!!!" But I guess I'm biased about getting things for FREE.... :-)
Here's my responses---

If you allow iPod downloads then you can get each website it's own listing in iTunes. Note what Revver does to accomplish this. From Revver FAQ--

Uploading FROM cell phone may be a key bonus for your clients over downloading to. Not sure. There may be advertising benefits for your clients on the DOWNLOAD to cell phone option. Again, note how Revver automatically adds ads to the tail of their videos. Maybe you could work up 5 sec ads at head.....

Nice feature but who uses it? What I mean is, who uses it for video collections, like vidiac. ??? Lots of folks use it for email and staying in touch with family.
> - Blog integration. Allowing you to easily publish the video to

I hate this feature. I
prefer the flexibility of sharing html video code myself.

Almost everyone prefers an ad-free world. BUT all the surveys I've seen say people would prefer to watch ads than pay with cash. Having the ability to make revenue from their video site IS A HUGE PLUS to your clients. So is being able to NOT choose that option is just as important--- flexability-- it's a consumer's world.

Syndication for public video hosting/sharing clients is a very nice feature. Could you possibly "tag" that clients videos for them somehow? Add a video title overlay in the feed?
To Your Success and Fun in Life,
