Dailymotion

Dailymotion is a social video site based out of Paris that offers a mix of both amateur and professional content. They are differentiating their site by offering a mix of professional content, contextual advertising, and paying top content producers (companies or individuals) through their MotionMaker program. Dailymotion offers a healthy mix of individual videos, channels and groups that can be viewed by popularity, most recent, most views and most rated.

In July 2007, Dailymotion announced that they would be opening US-based operations in hopes of getting a bigger share of the lucrative US market. They are fighting for the number two video site spot behind YouTube. Dailymotion will monetize their video content with banner advertising and in-video advertising.

You paint a rosy picture of Dailymotion but none of its methods of censorship or appalling treatment of members, why is that?

As a member of their next step in business development, i can ensure you that they get more and more profesional.. they might become one of the main channels of france. Another point is that youtube is trying to copy dailymotion on some functionnalities..i do not really know who is one step ahead .. frederic from french webtv www.curiosphere.tv

The only competitor to YouTube from the point of view of a youtube exec. They can survive the consolidation phase because of their top 10 position in France. I think MSFT will buy them.
