In Regards To Those Who Forced You Tube Coverage

I understand WHY you had it forced on me to carry the Knights of Columbus International Free Throw Basketball Championship Coverage on You Tube-the sense that You Tube is THE Place to be seen & get huge views, to legitimatize one's "Star Status", has a LOT to do with it.
BUT, You Tube is NOT the ONLY Video Place. It may be the MOST POPULAR, but NOT the ONLY Place. There are other services, which do a great job. Of course I do recognize that most of You, think that You Tube was the 1st Video Service out of the box, but it is NOT the 1st one.
Vimeo.com, founded in NYC in November of 2004, is older than You Tube. It is not a service full of videos which lack any semblance of intelligence. Intense Artistry tends to be the thing on Vimeo. I will admit that when I got called to work in the Web Series, "Peripheral City", by a Director named Amanda, she made me aware of Vimeo.com. Before that, I had never even heard of that service, which I now call "Home Base." blip.tv I found out about, came through research. But, Amanda did point the way for me in looking beyond the Cocoon, which is YouTube.
Now, the 2nd Largest Video Service in the World is called Dailymotion. It has 677 views of K of C Free Throw Coverage. The Coverage, beginning with the Council 5103 Competition & concluding with Long Island Final Coverage, has provided a viable alternative to YouTube & has become rather popular here in North America. The HQ is in Paris, France, with North American Operations based in NYC, managed by New Yorker, Joy Marcus, a lawyer. BTW, the Council, Queens, NY District 28, Queens County & Long Island Final, are all on Dailymotion where one can view a classic American TV comedy, called "Hogan's Heroes."
blip.tv is an interesting choice of comedy, drama, fixit & offbeat shows. The Council's Free Throw Round 1 Coverage is here. Just this round is here, having attracted 396 Views. The Proverbial "Rockstar" of this coverage, an 11 Year Old named Kayla, attracted 20.71% of the views or 82 Views.
Vimeo.com, based over near Chelsea Piers in Manhattan, attracts a much different from the Mainstream type of viewer, often of an International type of viewer, who tends to go with Peripheral or "By" Coverage. Jason Camus is the "Rockstar" here, attracting an International Audience, by virtue of 2 "Post Game Interviews." He has 10% of coverage views on Vimeo. Vimeo was lead network for the Long Island Final Coverage, with slack picked up by Dailymotion.com. Vimeo has 726 Views.
But, YouTube is thought of by me as an obsession with some people, due to the belief that it is the ONLY Game in town. It is not the only game.
Why all this coverage is to prove a point-You Tube is not the exclusive home of K of C Free Throw Coverage. The Contest draws well on other services. And in 2012, YouTube will not have a place at the table.
