If I were competing with vid.ly, bit.ly or any of the other ly's, I think my main strategy would be to post material guaranteed to offend Libyan national pride without offending American sensibilities, and see if I could provoke a ruckus. The reliance on geopolitically shaky TLDs is bound to bite someone eventually.
Why would anyone use them instead of Posterous? Posterous is dead simple, allows me to share <i>all</i> media, and autoposts way more places. It's basically a direct subset of Posterous's features.
Interesting.. Today I just got an email that TweetLater is rebranding themselves as SocialOomph: <a href="http://www.socialoomphblog.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.socialoomphblog.com/</a><p>Personally, I think these new names are terrible. Are these signs that the honeymoon with Twitter is over?
Leo Laporte is going around shooting people using the word twit? Wow, he sure lucked out with the advent of Twitter and its lexicon.<p>Edit: <i>Leo Laporte actually has rights to the trademark “TWiT” in relation to audio-visual performances. So, anything that’s outside of the realm of video are not a valid target for him.</i>
