WM Top 50: Top Video Sharing Sites

Online video is one of the hottest things going on the Web. From sports bloopers to newscasts from around the world, the proliferation of video has added yet another dimension to the Internet. But online video isn’t just for casual entertainment. Savvy business professionals are working hard to get a piece of the action. Do-it-yourself tutorials, advertising as entertainment and interviews are just some of the ways to take advantage of the surging popularity of online video. Those businesses that create successful video campaigns have the opportunity to spread their messages to literally millions of Web users — think Mentos and Diet Coke.

There is no debating that YouTube has led the charge and continues to be the most widely known video sharing site online. But wait, there’s more—much more. The most successful videos are viral. They are spread by users throughout the Web—embedded in blogs, social networking sites and emailed to friends and colleagues. So, naturally the best way to get your video seen is by giving users the most opportunities to see and share your creation.

This month, Website Magazine features the top 50 video sharing sites, listed alphabetically and as determined by data provided by Quantcast, Ranking.com, Alexa and Google’s Page Rank.
