KeepVid

This year seems to be the year of the online video site. They've always had a presence, but with the recently improved ability to post video direct to your site it seems to be taking off everywhere. Blogs, forums and specialist video sites are all starting to take advantage of video content offered by bigger outfits to enhance their offerings, and its set to get more prevalent as time goes on and bandwidth availability increases.

KeepVid is a handy site for online video fans which turns streaming media into downloads you can store on your hard drive. This is either very useful or a frustrating development for big companies that would choose to make content available but unsaveable via streaming only methods - depending on your point of view. Questions of ethics aside, this is one of those sites that will no doubt prove a catalyst in coming months with issues of copyright and distribution of media, with the frontier spirit the internet at times lacks in these corporate times.
