Web sites invite people to share their video clips

A host of startup video sites have popped up in the last few months, reports the Detroit Free Press. Youtube.com, Vimeo, Sharkle, ClipShackand Blip.tv all aim to be video versions of Flickr, the Yahoo-owned site that has drawn millions of people who post photographs, then discuss them.

Google's new video.google.com has even bigger aspirations: to become a TV network of sorts on the Internet, offering personal footage that can be shared and TV programs that can be purchased.

The free video sites are similar to Flickr and other photo-sharing sites such as Kodak Easyshare Gallery and Shutterfly, but with a big difference. The photo-sharing sites exist to sell prints and gifts."
