In searching for links to my favorite artist, June Marshall, I've come across IMvite, a new (to me) “Web 2.0” media search site. The only clue I could find about what they do is this one-liner:
Search IMvite for millions of Video Clips, Games, Live TV & Radio Stations, and More.
What's caught my eye is the very high quality of the video stream and the size of the player -- 640x480 -- that are different and give you a much better viewing experience, as you may, or may NOT see:
Searching on the site is very fast. Well done, IMvite - except for your embed code if it doesn't work in Blogger and WordPress blogs....
As the title says ... but there is more to WeShow than self promotion. The, by now obligatory, "Beta" sign for example....
They actually have live editors who choose what makes it to the site's three sections from YouTube, Metacafe, DailyMotion, MySpace, and many other websites:
WeShow Videos
"Selecting and organizing the best videos worldwide for your entertainment" is the subtitle. You will find really cool stuff here, despite the hype.
WeShow Awards
Okay, they call it the "world's biggest online video contest." Choose your favorite videos among more than 200 channels. There is a new competition every month. Voting your favorite the "WeShow Video of the Month" is cool, if you have a lot of time. Otherwise I don't see the point.
WeShow TV
22 channels, from Autos, through TV. There are four, specifically, nor found on a lot of other sites:
* Commercials * Games & Toys * Learning * People & Vlogs
I can see me suggesting our video commercials and this blog for inclusion. As a member, I'll also receive a weekly selection, defined by me, by email.
Interestingly, the site has British and Brazilian editions, just a click away. Find the flags (in the upper right corner)
