When you think about viral video, what’s the first thing that comes to mind? YouTube? But have you heard about Clip Shack? Originally this site was built and branded for businesses to manage and share their videos and ideas. It was an online tool used by corporations to market their ideas and products on a reliable online platform. The site's creators quickly realized there was a broader market for online video content and extended their services to individuals. I know what you’re thinking? It sounds familiar to YouTube. Well, it is but isn’t that the whole idea of social media, choices? The internet is filled with choices and places to stream your content. Clip Shack is one of those choices. Here are some benefits to make those choices easier:
-The content is organized into Topics instead of related videos. For example, say you want to check out a skateboard video they have a nicely organized topics page where you can find these videos, and, currently, 327 others just like it.
-Unlike YouTube, material cannot be obscene or offensive “adult material” Clip Shack’s Terms of Use clearly outlines that their site is not to be used for such material and membership to the site requires that you are 18 years of age or older
-Clip Shack has recently incorporated a Google Maps application where you can organize content based on location.
Clip Shack has not received the recognition and viewership of YouTube, but it is a safe and reliable place where friends and family, colleagues and companies can share videophiles.
