The Return of Google-Free Friday?

Remember back in 2003 when I proposed Google-Free Fridays?

Looks like it’s making a comeback. See: This July: Try Google-Free Fridays!

Honestly I’m probably one of the few people I know who doesn’t completely rely on GMail, Google Docs & Spreadsheets, Google Floor Wax, Google AdSense, Google YouTube, Google Blogger, Google Sandwich Spread, Google Picasa, Google Groups, Google Shoelace Tying Machine, Google Analytics, Google Earth, Google Calendar, or Google Master Chef on a daily basis.

I do quite like their search and maps though…

Upload Video

The question was asked “where can I upload my video to?” as in, what (free) services will host my video files?

(Thanks to sull for the list.)

Personally, I use Ourmedia. It’s easy to select a Creative Commons license for your work, and they use The Internet Archive for the file storage. You could just use The Internet Archive, but Ourmedia adds nice features on top of it, including the fact that your uploads are available (almost) immediately instead of having to wait hours or days…

As for the others listed, I’m not really too familar with them. Just be sure to check their term of service. With some of them, you may be giving up rights you don’t want to in exchange for them hosting your file, or they may disappear someday taking your videos with them. It’s a tradeoff you’ll have to weigh in your final decision.
