Thanks Deirdre, and thanks Robert. I hadn't checked this email in a while so I missed first part of this discussion, but I think that while the first generation of online video hosting sites aren't exactly what you want them to be, they are still learning from user behaviors. So as early adopters use the site, the features have to be very general out of necessity to cast the widest nets.
As these services mature an the market shakes out you'll see the different sites cater with features to respective their audiences/users. So the advanced features that this group seeks are somewhat different than the 14 year old kid who is making goofy video, or someone just uploading the latest tivoed South Park Episode. What we have found is that many film makers don't have their own destinations or traffic so YouAreTV provides that foot traffic. Where as many people in this group have their own destination and are only seeking a hosting service and an embedded player to place in their blog. So I'd say that is something to keep in mind as you are doing your comparison, and perhaps when all is said and done say "This site is great for..." I have not see that being pondered or discussed yet. That is, how the various video sites fit different needs. Just something to ponder.
