So I discovered Videoegg 2 days ago, and now after more research I discovered Vimeo. The easiest way to describe it is that, like Youtube it’s a Flickr for videos - there’s tagging and there’s a community where you can have contacts and such. Compared to Videoegg which is extremely streamlined and purely for videohosting.

The quality of the videos uploaded to both sites is good, and is comparable to each other. Though Vimeo’s embed code displays the video at 400×300 compared to Videoegg’s 320×240, resulting in a slight loss in quality which is not that noticeable. They make up for it by making the original file available for download as you can see below.

Both these services produce better looking videos than Youtube. However, both cannot beat it in terms of traffic and exposure. So if you want to be the next Internet celebrity like lonelygirl15, you still need to use Youtube.

Me? I am using video to enhance the content here so I’m going for the better quality service.

Sample video from Vimeo below - it’s a slightly re-edited version of the one you’ve seen in my previous post.
