The Internet Archive does indeed build dedicated collections to projects such as the Digital Tipping Point: http://archive.org/details/digitaltippingpoint The advantage of putting your work up on the Archive is that you get high res, free hosting forever, plus a dedicated team to keep the server up, plus an awesome indexing feature: http://tinyurl.com/yluwoc There are a few drawbacks to the Archive. One, they are not as heavily trafficked as YouTube. Two, they have not built in mechanisms for form a community, such as with YouTube. Three, the service is available only from the US, as the Archive didn't want to have to deal with copyright laws outside the US. But overall, the Archive is a great service!
