Many video sites are top10 and cross tabulated in AOL's SearchVideo.com which is worth a look. They have at least 20-30 video sites cross tabulated, and many to search on, probably giving priority to AOL and their corporate interests (like Nick, CN, etc.)



Not to labor the issue, but I thought I'd compare the categories settled upon by the industry and compare it to what VS has settled into:
