1. Your suggestions for video hosts

    Twitter / Merlin Mann: LazyTwitter: Flip en route …

    I just ordered a Flip for doing casual video stuff and was thinking of trying a new video host. I LazyWebbed to the Twitter for advice, and here’s what you guys said.


    Vimeo

    • Remy - Vimeo gets my vote.
    • jmorrisseyd Vimeo rocks so much I would give them my firstborn child
    • mixmanner I’m a Vimeo fan. It’s like Twitter or Tumblr; simple, yet functional.
    • bradleyallen Vimeo seems to be buddy bands with Tumblr. They share the same recording studio and groupies. Vimeo
    • royalbacon Vimeo has great tumblr integration.
    • kennbell blip and Viddler are top notch but Vimeo has the best encoding and a beautiful barely there player.
    • mrwarren Big fan of Vimeo myself.
    • luomat Vimeo seems to be preferred site for Tumblr.com
    • jonathandavies Vimeo is great if you want to upload HD - the player is also nice.
    • RyanMF Great quality on Vimeo… Not sure if there are any other major selling points, but that’s a pretty good one.
    • RellyAB - Vimeo rocks my world.

    Viddler

    • jbb Viddler
    • masto Late vote for Viddler. It’s all about the community. We open our kimonos, etc.
    • djsteen: I say Viddler for sure! Tag/Comment on the timeline, awesome community, and a great team of people that work there!
    • xxabsentxx We use Viddler. Good stuff.
    • Jestutripup Viddler

    Split/Other

    • houltmac Vimeo is a nicer player, but Viddler has good add/tag support
    • greggscott Vimeo’s quality is sub-par. Blogger interestingly converts much better but no embed code perse. ‘Tis a great query you pose.

      I’ll keep reading responses (or links to good comparisons of these services), so hop in.

And, then, you were all...
