A lot of video sharing communities have sprung up recently, all of them trying to be the next YouTube of the online world. Many of them offering new and really cool features like edit videos, create playlists, etc. But what they forget is the need of users to just upload a video and share it with friends.
Members want a fast loading page and very simple instructions. Considering there are thousands of new users everyday, it would be a good standard to “keep it simple”. They also would like to earn some money while they share content on the Internet.
A very important point that’s being discussed on many blogs and news site is the fact that these sites don’t share revenue with users. YouTube certainly announced it would do it “soon” but nobody really knows when.
Now with the launch of RinconSocial.com (http://www.RinconSocial.com), the video sharing community has a different alternative.
RinconSocial.com let users share videos, get to know people and make money while doing it. Its Control Panel layout is similar to MySpace, making users feel “at home”, I guess.
Members of the site paste the ‘embedded codes’ from other video community websites like YouTube, Yahoo! Videos and Google Video. Thus they can save their favorite videos and share them with friends who will see ads while watching the video, generating an income for the user who posted the video.
A new generation of video-sharing community is taking place, and we will soon see many of these services sharing their revenue with members.
