video.yahoo.com — The new video site includes videos from around the web and a few from Yahoo! users as well. The top navigation bar references "My Studio" which could be a way for anyone to author and upload their own video files or maybe add some special effects. The new site supports personal favorites, tagging, and ratings of each video.

@bkingPatience grasshopper. The path of destruction has yet to descend on the host.

Why host your own when there are other sites that are better that can host them for you? :O.

the site hasn't been launched yet. the link points to the yahoo video search. not the yahoo video sharing site. for a preview of the site, look at the screenshot posted in the very first comment. it shows that you can upload videos to yahoo.

youtube is hands down the best right now, yahoo doesn't have a chance. Who goes to yahoo anyway other than email?

Google shares video now also, if that wasn't mentioned before. I find it interesting how market leaders are springing up everywhere and all the big players can do is follow suit. Where is the innovation? Now we have several rehashes of the same content. Great, just what we needed.

The site mostly works in Ubuntu & Firefox but clicking on the Yahoo music video links from there gives this strange message:"We regret that Yahoo! Music videos are not currently supported for *Macintosh*."Their OS detection seems to be a bit off there--unless Ubuntu Linux is now a Mac. ;-)

I've been using Yahoo! Video Search for several months now, and I have to say it's a hundred times better than YouTube. The fact that it crawls the web for videos, then displays direct download links to the original files is the best feature. YouTube is a walled garden, nothin's gettin out of there unless you use a greasemonkey script to grab the FLV file, which doesn't do you any good anyway if you care about remixing. Long live open video, screw YouTube and their non-file-sharing asses.
