Just to play devil's advocate, YouTube is not a bad place to be. You can have H264 videos and link to them for podcasting.
As long as you turn off the moronic comments or turn on moderation, you can enjoy the increased traffic that comes from posting certain things there. My Flashmob video has had 150,000+ views there, and only a few thousand on Blip. And it looks crap on both sites. If you want to link to a YouTube video in H264 high quality, just add &fmt=18 to the end of the URL. If you want to embed a H264 high quality version, just use my embed code generator: http://twittervlog.tv/youtube-high-quality-embed-code-generator.html If you want to use YouTube as a host for your video podcast, or link direct to the H264 MP4 version of your video, use youtubemp4.com and insert the video's ID code from its URL before .mp4, thus: http://youtubemp4.com/yourvideosidcode.mp4 Plus they have all sorts of cool tools like Annotations and traffic measuring. Don't tell anybody, but I think YouTube is cool.
