The Inquisitr: TroopTube — Is This Really Necessary?
I like sharing videos

Hi, Video sharing is all the rage since a while now, and it does not seem to end. Everybody wants to share their videos, their passions and the things they like. There are so many sites around to publish videos on the web that it is sometimes hard to make a choice. We know some of the big players on the market like YouTube, Revver or Dailymotion, but there are so many others competing to be the number one, or targeting a specific audience, be it geographically (China, Japan, Turkey...), by language (German, Arabic, French...) or for the kind of content they focus on (cooking, planes, extreme sports...). I have compiled a growing list of already 900 video sharing sites, video search engines, video download sites, and video publication and statistics online services that you can check at http://www.ilikesharingvideos.com For each of them, you will get useful information such as their history, the country from which most of their visitors come, their niche, their rank, their latest news... This site offers some other interesting features, like a forum about online videos, how to make money with your videos, how to create your own YouTube site, video contests, etc. So if you are interested in video sharing or online video marketing, give an eye to this site, it worths it.

JR,
Thanks for taking the time to coverage TroopTube's launch. With the military banning YouTube, service members and their family members lost a way for them to stay in touch by sharing videos. Think about how disappointing it would be to miss your child's first steps?
It is easy for a civilian to think the DoD's emphasis on secrecy and control is paranoid or censorship. But let's step out of our tech world where we beat our chests about how we bravely embrace risk? What risk does a start-up founder take? Lost salary? Public humiliation? Yes, both not pleasant. In the military taking risks mean people's lives are at stake. It's the .001% chance something happens and people get killed that drives their thinking, which is very different than how we typically think about things in the civilian world.
Let's be honest, YouTube is great, but all the video in the world for the rest of man kind's existence will not be hosted on a single site (no matter how badly Google wants that to be true). As video becomes part of the normal fabric of the web, it will become commonplace, and available on almost all websites. We provide a platform that enables professional or UGC video on anyone's website in a way that fits in with their strategy (instead of Google's).
