Video Sharing Sites

What are video sharing sites?

Video sharing sites allow you to upload and share online videos similar to photo sharing sites. Video sharing sites store the videos and invite you to share them in a variety of ways.

One of the most common video sharing sites is YouTube . Others include dotSUB for captioned videos and ICYou , a video sharing site just for health videos. These sites share much in common with online social network sites, such as Facebook and MySpace —users can connect with each other, send messages, leave comments, and share videos.
