Recently, especially with the popularity of YouTube, there has been a boom in video sharing sites where it is possible to host an effective viral video marketing campaign. However, not all video hosting sites are created equal. Many offer additional features or higher view numbers than others, allowing you to get more out of the time it takes to post.

Some examples of additional features on online video hosts include editing and remixing capabilities to give your message more edge. Of course, all the extra features in the world won’t do anything for you if the site isn’t working, full of problems, or if no one else visits it.

The following sites have been tested with a demo video file to compare video quality, site features, site interface, and overall site functionality. Some of these sites are still in beta, so they may see a change in functionality within the next few months, but if you’re planning to start your viral video marketing now, then this is the information you’re looking for:

1.Google Video – This host has the appeal of knowing that he is dealing with the big and well-known company Google. To use it, you need to download Google Video Uploader, which offers many different additional features, such as uploading a transcript along with the video itself. You can make your videos free or give them a selling price. No editing features available. Uploading your videos includes a “video verification” process that can take several days for Google to make sure your video complies with technical and legal standards and policies.

2.vSocial – this site offers a quick way to upload – when successful (QuickTime seems to work best here) – with a large audience to view and share your message. Its Web 2.0 interface offers large fonts, rating, tagging, AJAX, RSS feeds, and review. It has editing capabilities, but in the end, everything is resized to 320 by 240. Sharing is an important feature in vSocial, allowing users to embed the video on their own web pages, MySpace, Blogger, TypePad, Flickr, del.icio . us and BlogIt! With many users and community features, this site is great for getting the word out – it’s all about putting in the effort to post your video in the first place.

3. Group – This site is essentially a file sharing version of YouTube. The interface application must be downloaded and is based on Windows Media Player. Allows tagging, ratings, groups, and RSS feeds. Users can post directly to Friendster, eBay and MySpace, or they can download it to their hard drive or iPod. It takes a while for the file to be available on the site. The process is long.

4.Vimeo – This host uses Flickr for its video, with a clean and simple flash-based interface that plays native formats. No need to download, and uploading is quick and easy. Users can tag, comment and vote, and use a comfortable player with a built-in volume control and no engraved logos. You can share on Flickr, del.iciou.us, MySpace, RSS feeds and download the original file. Overall, the video quality is very good, however, the community features are lacking.
