Overview
This page is about internet sites oriented towards providing video over the Internet. Such sites generally fall into the following categories:
- video sharing, i.e. sites which let you upload your own videos and view the uploaded videos of others
- torrent sites which provide tracking for BitTorrent files (of which video is a very popular type)
- video feed sites, i.e. sites providing produced content (with or without commercials)

- miro has a "huge selection" of HD content; Joost: no HD content
- miro: open source player; Joost: proprietary software
- miro: players for Linux, Mac, Windows; Joost: Windows only
- However, Joost seems to have more desirable content (commercial TV shows etc.)
