Well, though I watch more than upload video to YT, here's my url: http://youtube.com/user/schlomo Though I'm not sure why, if you already subscribe to me, that you would subscribe to my youtube channel. They are all the same vids as on my site, just not ALL the videos on my site. So, I dunno,

I have been cross posting my videos over there from Veoh. They get less views then on Veoh. They get far less then my videos over on blip. I still use blip mainly because their encoding is second to none and I want the best quality possible for posting to my blogs and other places. Putting the

For me at least this has nothing to do with assessing where my videos get more views. I don't expect that just because the videos are there they'll get watched by a significant amount of people. You have to play - watch video, comment on them - engage people. Like Rupert said, I'm interested in

Yay! Yeah. I'm interested in reaching out to a wider base of people... but Verdi's right. What really turns me on is finding out if I can connecting with these people the way I connect on my own Blog. It's a larger investment of time, but it's what I love, so it's worth it. I'm kind of

I've been thinking along the same lines. I was a regular user of YouTube a long time ago, I used to use it as my quick and easy way of converting stuff to flash so everyone could view it. I sorta stoped using it for the most part until recently. I decided to start posting some of my archives

Hey Rupert, I dig your sentiment about YouTube, but if you're looking for a quality community of video makers (other than Blip.tv, of course), you might want to check out Vimeo... I'm stunned by the amazing community of people there. Really. Comments, views. The lot. I think all of this

I agree with you with regards to the quality. I really do care how my work looks and want it represented properly. Bad flash encoding doesnt help matters. Another thing is how they display my videos. I always shoot in 16:9 format. I dont want there to be black bars on my videos so they can

Just a few random thoughts 13,000 views of a video on YouTube is nothing to be sniffed at. Many of my favorite YouTubers get a lot less per video and it doesn't seem to put them off. Embrace the possibility that hardly anyone will watch your stuff and you'll probably have more fun. Yes,

For us, the average number of views per video is higher on blip.tv but there are the handful that get picked up on the larger community sites for whatever reason. We have more total views on YouTube and MySpace than our web page/blip.tv due to the few that do well. You'll definitely get
