YouTube vs. Google Video vs. Revver

Wow.

What a great use of the various sites. I imagine we’ll see some copy cats from this, if not across services, at least on the same service.

A great idea, I’m looking forward to seeing the stats on these in a week or two.

Jesus H. Christ, Chris.

That was simply and utterly ******* brilliant.

What a stroke of genius.

Chris,

This was terrific. I laughed out loud. Thanks.

[...] Something’s gone wrong at Chris Pirillo’s blog, because some of the major video sharing sites are engaged in an all out-brawl! To understand, just click play on all three videos, as quickly together as you can: [...]

OMG, hilarious. Also, Revver is the best! :)

Very funny stuff! Greg at Google played the most consistently. Peter and Bobby at Google and Revver were pretty stop and go, though.

Jeez; I’m dying. That’s hilarious! Thanks, Chris.

This is exactly why I think you are amazing. People like you make the public education system look like a joke (because they don’t inspire this type of genius). Thanks for the laughs and the inspirational creativity.

i love this
this is the truth!
Church!

Chris, this is funniest thing that I’ve seen in weeks! So you’re guessing that revenue from revver will be the highest? Is that because they’re built from the ground-up to create revenue?

[...] Chris Pirillo has a great post in which he’s trying to compare the service / revenue / hits of the three top video hosting sites. Those being YouTube, Google Video, and Revver. I am posting the videos here as well. What you want to do is ensure that you have all three videos on your screen at the same time. Then click play on in each in order from top to bottom quickly. As long as you have a fairly speedy internet connection, you should see a hilarious video tie-in. [...]

YouTube loaded fastest and played consistently. Google video was choppy and ended last. Revver had the best picture, but was slower to load than YT. And the bit was about 20 seconds too long. :-)

I echo the “brilliant” comment. Looking forward to seeing the results of this experiment.

[...] Chris Pirillo has a pretty interesting post comparing the quality of YouTube, Google Video, and Revver. I have to say, I am quite impressed with Google Video with Revver coming up in second place - and a very close second place. YouTube’s video just absolutely sucks. Its horrible! [...]

Ha ha ha… that was pretty damn funny.

Caffeinated to the max!!!!…

So Chris has outdone himself over at his blog. He’s got three videos clips in one post!!! Each one hosted on one of the 3 major video hosting websites: YouTube, Google Video, and Revver. I don’t know much about Revver,……

Absolutely cracked me up. I was back about 30 years watching the Brady Bunch!

Thanks for the laugh!

I would give my left arm to know how much he is going to make from the revver one. This is just a stunt to get the revenue up on the last video. Brilliant!

youtube is the fastest

[...] Here is an interesting link [...]

[...] How many video sites are there now? Plenty, and they are still popping up every week. YouTube is the biggest but Google are still pushing theirs despite buying YT, Microsoft recently launched theirs and Revver is going strong with the shared revenue model. Chris Pirillo takes a look at three key players in this string of videos. The key is to start them all at the same time, starting from the top…and let them interact. [...]

Hehe, the best part about that is the Google video stopped playing around 3 seconds into it. :) So you have top Chris and bottom Chris fighting and Chris in the middle staying frozen.

I must confess that I laughed out loud on this one… the Google video froze while the top and bottom were playing… which perhaps caused the “lol” reaction.

HAAAAAAA! Well done dude, congrats on your creativity! Refreshing and I too LOL’d and lulled over yer vids. :-)

YouTube vs. Google Video vs. Revver…

Chris Pirillo has made 3 very clever videos that appear to be arguing with each other when played simultaneously. Go over here and click all three videos in a row to see what I’m talking about. If it’s not in…

I am a friend of the Scobles recovering from surgery and this advanced my recovery weeks! That was hilarious. The funniest was when you were looking down from UTube and up from Revver while Google was still loading!

I first ‘met’ Chris way back in the ’90’s when I subscribed to his little newsletter. I must say, he’s come a long way!

This is one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen!!!

Brilliant!

[...] Call it a streaming data battle royale, a video network smackdown of epic proportions - whatever. What does one do to top multimedia madness? Set the stage for Soapbox vs. YouTube vs. Break.com vs. Vimeo. vs. Jumpcut vs. Blip.tv vs. Metacafe vs. Revver vs. iFilm. That’s nine different video networks: all at once. Of course, if I was arguing with myself again, it wouldn’t be anything new. Instead - I decided to get into the holiday spirit and Jingle Bell your socks off. This time around, however, I hired a couple of assistants to help me achieve the effect I so desired. [...]

Revved up for Revver…

[...] After a bit of research, including a few views of Chris Pirillo’s head-to-head comparison of YouTube, Google Video and Revver (chris.pirillo.com/2006/11/27/youtube-vs-google-video-vs-revver/), I think I’d be foolish not to choose Revver …

REVVER keeps on stopping,that guy is annoying.

[...] Original post by cashbagg [...]

Very funny concept. I have 5mgb service so everything loaded and played flawlessly. I was impressed by the video quality of all 3. I laughed my butt off. The dog ran off with my butt afterwards.

since starting my dance blog a while ago, glitterparade.com, i’ve been told one of the best things to do is start them all up at once, resulting in a cacophony of pop music and an orgy of dancing

[...] Chris Pirillo is at it again. He’s now done two posts comparing the popular video sharing/hosting sites. The first was comparing YouTube, Google Video, and Revver. The next one compared 9 different services - Soapbox vs. YouTube vs. Break.com vs. Vimeo. vs. Jumpcut vs. Blip.tv vs. Metacafe vs. Revver vs. iFilm. As instructed by Chris, I started all nine videos one right after the other and noted some interesting results (yours will vary). Like I said, I started them all in order, but the finishing order was different. First to finish was Soapbox followed by YouTube, which makes sense since they started first and second. Third place was a surprise - my favorite, Blip TV. After that it’s was a bit of a jumble so don’t quote me. I believe Revver and Metacafe did pretty well, but Break, Vimeo, Jumpcut, and iFilm choked. I literally had to move the mouse over them to get them to finish. I don’t know what would have happened if they were in different positions on the board. Also, Blip TV was the least garish looking. It was very clean, and didn’t end with an advertisement (click on the image above to see how it all ended). So give it up for Blip, the winner of a very unscientific and uncontrolled study, featuring a video of a lunatic singing Jingle Bells over and over. Man, how much more fun can the Internet get.
