Video blogging is becoming a phenomenon and its attributes to the fact that the appealing effect that people who view the videos and sympathize with the content especially the video itself is surrounding in a sad story.

However, video blogging has not really taken off as there are few factors such as it’s time consuming to produce a truly compelling video and yet it’s also not easy to create a video blog. But we still notice that most of the mainstream entertainments are wired with video blogging.

To arm you with the video blogging software and hence, you can create your very own YouTube in seconds, Fliggo is a right tool to go for. In fact, it’s inexpensive to create a video blog and become a video blogger on Fliggo.

On Fliggo, you’ve the options to describe your niche video blog title. Also, you can opt to keep your videos private by selecting the closed membership so only the people you invited can view your video blog. Meanwhile, there are few design templates offered by Fliggo, and you can play with it now with the basic account (without paying a hefty premium). But in near future, a premium account type called Fliggo Pro; proposed $50 per month will be launched and many added features such as custom domain name, advanced customization tools are built into the package.

Web has became not only a space for finding generic information, but also a nice place for self further studies. Put an example, if you want to scour for education-related resources, Academic Earth is a must site to visit for.

Academic Earth, headlined on the landing page with “Thousands of video lectures from the world’s top scholars” can fulfill many people’s dreams to learn the video lectures from the top scholars at the Ivy League Universities. Similarly to one of MIT’s Web-based projects, i.e. MIT Open Course Ware, you can find course lecture videos on anything from engineering to management. However, there are more universities covered as you can find some of the online video lectures at these stated universities, that are UC Berkeley, Harvard, MIT, Princeton, Stanford and Yale, with the exception of the course work or the course material in any text format.

While you find tons of video lectures at Academic Earth and you might thought that it is a huge repository of videos from these top universities. However, quite the contrary, the videos are not hosted on this site itself. Most of the videos were pulled from blip.tv but a great feature offered by Academic Earth is that users can rate a particular video and the ratings from A to F is given.

Embedr is a newly launched service that allows users to create a custom video embed code. A nice thing to try Embedr is that even you did not register an account with them, you still can test its embed features. In other words, if you are a user who simply want to embed your very own one video and really not bother to register another Web account, you’ll likely to appreciate this convenience.

There are two (2) types of video playlist embeds. You can either use the standard playlist or smart playlist. The standard playlist allows you to embed a unique video playlist with a grouping of 100 videos maximum, whereas the smart playlist is for the ease to embed YouTube videos via the generic keyword or your own YouTube account. If you want to embed YouTube video by using the generic keyword, you’ll find that Embedr will group a series of video clips that contain this keyword in your playlist. This prove quite useful in a scenario that the related video clips to the one you want to embed are showing in front as one of the video slideshow. After you embedding the video, the URL of the video playlist and the embed code is much shorter than the usual YouTube embed code.

Well, the embed feature of Embedr isn’t a revolutionary development on the whole. However, it represent a good video embedding service alternative to some video sharing sites.

Wibe7.tv is an application with a simple idea to let you find and watch YouTube video clips in a well-structured visual thumbnail regions. You can perform search and filter the search results based on relevance, views, rating, and published. Furthermore, the video clips shown are all newly submitted by the YouTube user themselves. Mouse-over on any video clip will detail the basic information of that particular video clip itself. Most important, it let you watch the video clip you might interested in without having to leave the site since all video clips are well embedding on this Wibe7.tv.

Fooooo is a very popular and widely used video search engine in Japan. It is available in eleven (11) languages; the default is Japanese, and its users are able to search 220 million video results from some ninety-four (94) video providers at the time of my writing, showing itself to be an ambitious video search engine. Apparently, with the capability of searching 220 million video results on the Web, a user can search whatever video she want from this site, including some big-name sources like YouTube, Dailymotion, MySpace, NicoVideo, Nifty, Ameba, FC2, Oricon, YouKu, Tudou, etc. As stated on the front page of Fooooo, it is considered to be the biggest video search engine on the Web now.

On the Fooooo site, although the design of the English site much like the default Japanese site, but potential users can’t sign-up to the site and become a member as the membership privilege can only be found on the Japanese site. However, these both Japanese and English sites, users will not find any advertisement on the landing page, not like the other nine (9) language sites, a horizontal Google AdSense advertisement can be found on the bottom of the page.

One of the best parts of Fooooo is that the default video size you watch via Fooooo is slightly bigger than YouTube, providing a convenience that has proven quite attractive for the video avid users. Also, users have the option to adjust the video size from original to medium and to large size.

Fooooo is a very powerful video search engine, not only you can find what you want to watch on it, you also can narrow your results to certain category, or filter it by channel or duration.
