Google +

This site had a bit of a rocky start. But slowly, but surely, it’s becoming the next big thing with a bit of “cult following” for those looking for what’s new, hot and innovative. Show them that you are exactly what they are looking for by posting your video here.

Facebook

Friends love to share. Make sure your video is on Facebook.

MySpace

Don’t rule it out. They are working to redefine themselves and seen as the anti-facebook. Having your video here speaks to the unconventional and alterative thinkers, who once convinced are very loyal. They are looking to learn about things that no one on “those other sites” knows about.

Snapchat
