Back, maybe 4/5 years ago when almost everyone was still connected to the internet via 56k modems, Broadband was the buzzword flying around as the saviour of the web and online content. Viewing videos on the web was limited to stuttering 320 x 240 mini movies, (I might be exaggerating here) it was just painfully slow. Today with more people taking up broadband fast internet connections, website have become richer in content, video viewing on website are the norm and some of these sites leading the way with video content are very addictive. These are the 6 I have bookmarked, I’m sure there are others out there. This guy is probably my favourite video on YouTube. Reuters did a news story on him, tracking him down to Korea.

YouTube, The leader of the pack right now, I’ve found some amazing and rare stuff on here. Close behind is Google Video, Guba, has a pay and watch online model but theres plenty of free stuff too, most are full length videos ranging from comedy to documentaries. Revver, doesn’t seem as extensive, this one is based on users getting paid for uploaded videos. Metacafe, again no as extensive, most of whats on here can be found on YouTube. Whoomp, not very user friendly and all videos open up in Windows Media Player on a Mac. This site also has image galleries. Kontraband, more adult and non work safe videos on Kontraband, lots of viral videos. And something extra, Microsoft will try to compete with YouTube with Soapbox
