You suggested it so I thought I'd run with it.

I have to say that Metacafe wins hands down. Every time I go there, they have the funniest ***. Plus they also pay guys for sending cool stuff unlike the 'tube where they just rip off there biggest supporters and don't share any of the green they got from Google.

Tube sucks, Metacafe rocks.

I haven't had the time to really mess with Metacafe to know the pros and cons but sharing profits with video producers is no doubt a nice advantage.

In comes YouTube with their profit sharing model: http://gigaom.com/2007/01/27/youtube-rising/ 

So...now that YouTube provides the same opportunity, who will reward the best or has the best business model for publishers?

One last point: I rarely receive videos from friends and colleagues that are hosted on Metacafe.
