vodpod : social bookmarks for video’s
Vodpod is social bookmarks for video’s, grab them from any video site and bookmark them in your vodpod, show them in a widget. Not only do you have a user space, but you can also join group pods.
I bookmark audio files in Podchains (you can bookmark any media file), but it won’t play within Podchains, you also get a widget, and space to host your own media URL’s from the media files on your PC.
Other choices are DivShare and Box.net to host files, share files and play them in widgets…but not within a social network.
With Podchains you actually bookmark the file, with Vodpod you just bookmark the web page the video box is hosted on, so you are not actually saving the media file itself.
See my post, The Podcast Listener, where at the end I link to lots of ways to download video URL’s into video files…also check out similar video social networks.
Download
Here’s an example post from the The Chris Pirillo Show, notice that you can download a YouTube clip directly from the post, it seems to use Google Video somehow, not sure how this works.
It seems you can download YouTube clips by using Democracy, this is a RSS Reader, Podcatcher, Video Player in one.
You can even use VideoBomb to download YouTube clips.
Also check out The Channel Channel, as a way to view one minute previews of Internet Video Channels, before you may wish to subscribe…also see PodcastPromos.
