Everyone is familiar with Youtube. Youtube offers fast video stream uploads. As you watch the video it loads, so if you have a good internet connection, you shouldn’t have to wait. Some of the videos uploaded to Youtube are High Definition. If that option is available there is a button in the viewing site of the video, that you can click. Also in the view of the video playing is the volume option, full screen option, and closed caption option. Youtube also allows you to give feed back to videos. You can respond with comments, videos or you can rate the videos.

Youtube also categorizes video's by genre, the type, and their tags. While watching videos, you have the option to see what other videos the user has uploaded, in addition to videos similar to the one you are viewing at the moment

Hulu is best known for its tv shows that it stream. Hulu provides the tv show or links to the tv shows that you want to watch. It would be better for the viewer if ever video was at the actual hulu website but they're arent. I believe that can be classified as a disadvantage of the site. Another disadvantage of the site is the commercials you have to watch periodically in between a show or movie. They are pretty long, about 30 seconds. I think that for video streaming online thats a little too long. Hulu's video come in standard and high definition and all options for viewing the video are easy to understand. Hulu is best for full tv show episodes and full movies. Thats what I would use it for.

Veoh is similar to Hulu. It stream video that it has the rights to. The video screen, cant cover the whole monitor but it is an acceptable size. You are able to create playlist of videos that you like, an advantage if you want to step away from the computer. Like youtube, veoh is accessible on mobile devices that are capable of streaming. The playlist feature would draw me in to theis site. I would use it for watching network shows on a playlist.

Youtube - "Net Neutrality"


Hulu - "Net Neutrality"


Veoh


It was very easy to embed all thee of these videos. I think in this day and age of internet, saring what you run into is a necessity. The was a clear to title to the video that said embed. On youtube you have to manually right click and copy, but for hulu and veoh there is a copy to clipboard function which makes copying it easier.

I believe for every video in these 3 sites there is always a link to a video since each video is its on page, so if you didnt have the option to embed there would still be the option to post the link.
