Veoh is a video sharing client that functions more like a TV then community video sharing site. Uploading you videos is easy, and doesn’t require you to have Veoh running all the time (although a little Veoh service will run silently in the background as a system process for some reason, even if you ar’t using the app… so you can’ abort it).

[Blogsome deleted my previous post… looks like it’s not fully compatible with FireFox 1.5]

Google Video store is now officially live (as of last night.
Read Solution Watch’s in-depth (as always) review. For current video providers, check out the Google Blog.

Frankly, it’s rather an anti-climax, considering the amount of hype it’s been getting lately. Soundly, Google has always been simplicity itself, but looking over Google Video, you feel they could have jazzed it up a bit on the interface. The whole thing looks a bit disspointing. However, it does look very easy to buy you video (haven’t tried it though)
Also, there is talk of little cross-platform compatibility, only working right now for Win2000/XP. What’s up with that Google?
