Comparing You Tube to Dailymotion, and my experiences as a user by conduction a search on each sit and compare your results?

You Tube is widely know and is a great mechanism for broadcasting yourself or something across the World Wide Web. I feel it would be very hard for competing sites that try to achieve the same goal as You Tube, such as Dailymotion, Veoh or Mestacafe.

I am going to compare You Tube with Dailymotion. Even though I had heard of the site Dailymotion I had never realized it worked along the same lines as you tube. I did a couple of searches and these were my findings, firstly I just searched for videos regarding a general statement “Boy Meets Girl” you tube came up with 28,100 videos related to the search and Dailymotion only came up with 83. It then searched a Famous racehorse “Moscow Flyer” You Tube found 157 relevant videos and Dailymotion came up with 0. And lastly I search videos relevant to the new movies in cinemas at the moment “Couples Retreat” You Tube came up with 2,120 videos where as Dailymotion only came up with 170 videos.

As you can see You Tube has a much bugger database than Dailymotion, and provides it user with much more of a verity of videos when a particular topic is searched. Both sites were easy to use and pretty self-explanitatory. But I don’t think I will be changing my first option when I go on to the Internet. I will still be using You Tube over any other search engine such as Dailymotion.
