    Viddler is my favorite embedded video platform right now. I like that you can completely customize the player including the logo. Also, unlike YouTube, Viddler doesn’t show anybody else’s videos after yours is finished playing. The last thing that I want my clients seeing after watching a video on my website is some “related” video of a drunk person stumbling around.

    For me, I am using VIMEO as my video platform, and I love it, (ala Ian Watt http://www.ianwatt.ca). It is so easy to upload from my video files, and then share with social media sites like Facebook. Also, the embed code easily transfers to my Point2Agent website, so it’s awesome. I also use The Flip Mino camera and it could NOT be easier to use.
