Video bloggers are abandoning YouTube in favor of a new video sharing site, LiveVideo, which can be found at: http://www.livevideo.com/. YouTube users have been frustrated by problems with the site’s messaging system. Many people have had problems posting comments on videos. Other complaints include the ability to cheat your way to the top of the Most Viewed list, the inability to effectively ban haters (i.e. very abusive users and stalkers), the prominence given to commercial media (i.e. featuring videos from CBS, NBC), and a lack of communication from YouTube. I have been unable to update my channel graphic because the form for uploading the image has two nested form tags with the enctype=”multipart/form-data” attribute. I have reported this problem to YouTube but they have not fixed it.
I have an account on LiveVideo at: http://www.livevideo.com/rrobbins. I have found and subscribed to 50 YouTube video bloggers. I suspect there are really less than a hundred genuine video bloggers on YouTube because there is a relatively small number of people that are regulars on Stickam. LiveVideo allows you to customize your channel. You can edit the CSS style sheet and paste in HTML for your channel header. The video quality is better than YouTube and the audio is in stereo rather than mono. I am embedding one my videos from LiveVideo below in order to see how their video embeds look.
