If you upload to YouTube you may be giving away rights that you intend to keep. Also, YouTube(now , with the Google buyout, aka "GooTube") may use your material in ways you do not agree with. blip.tv has a much better service agreement if you want to keep your rights. Other aspects of blip.tv like opt-in-only advertising, and 50/50 share of ad revinue seem to be better as well. > been converting my short stories over to audio (podcasts but not daily > obsessive enough), but then got started doing a story in a video to put > on my iPod.
