Nathan Weinberg at Inside Google is claiming that YouTube has moved ahead of Google Video in terms of popularity. I totally agree. But it’s not just Google – these guys have moved ahead of everybody! This week, I caught a roundup of the “Flickrs of video” – here’s the list:

–Clipshack
–VSocial
–Grouper
–GoogleVideo
–Metacafe
–Castpost
–Vimeo
–Revver
–OurMedia

YouTube is way ahead of many of these services – YouTube videos are appearing on blogs and websites all over the place. OurMedia is also excellent, but it’s a non-profit and I’m more interested in startups right now. I’m also a fan of Grouper – it’s definitely one to watch.

Now correct me if I’m wrong, but the only video sharing service with a clear business model right now is Revver – they’re putting ads in videos and splitting the revenue with the content creator. Even this seems like a difficult thing to pull off – can they earn enough from the ads to pay for their bandwidth and reward the content creators? I’m not sure – but I’m keen to find out.

UPDATE (October 9th 2006): Google has bought YouTube. See this post for the announcement and this one for the rumors.
