When YouTube code Clone came into existence, every people excited, “ Ha! Ha! Ha! I have got the youtube clone, I going to install it, start a video sharing site, put some funny videos, put some ads in it and earn money..” Unfortunately you have never thought who will watch it. It will be mostly you, your family and your friends. That is why I said think before an act in my other article.
It took just two years for YouTube.com to become in top 10 of most widely accessed sites. It has grown as a monster in video search, so you cannot compete with YouTube (the excitement made you to not to think).
Google Videos and YouTube.com were the only competitors when video sharing rapidly grown. The concepts of Google Videos or YouTube are same but their codes completely differ. YouTube started dominating Google Videos with faster sharing and video collections. Google no longer hesitated to buy YouTube, no matter whatever the price would be, and bought it. Google’s never stops after purchasing a product but it develops with the rapid technology. Now there are no competitors for Google (Yahoooooo!)…Yes even Yahoo implemented http://videos.yahoo.com very lately and failed in video sharing.
There is a chance of a developer developing a code for video sharing as Youtube or Google but much faster than the code now with advanced options. If this becomes possible there would be another competitor for the companies, so marketing people took “Divide and Rule Tactics”. Breaking the code that was initially developed with bugs was opened for download.
The code was opened, most of the people excited and started own video sharing sites, most of them failed in their business. Now the code that you use as a YouTube Code clone is a buggy code, most often you cannot install it and run a successful video site.
How about video sharing software?
These codes are developed from the same code; it will only have a good skin/look. It plays some 3 to 5 mins videos as demo, for support you have to contact the same software vendor. You know that no videos are safe or secure to upload most of the people know how to download videos from video sharing sites. Still not aware try this http://kissyoutube.com
Still I am not discouraging your idea in anyway, I just gave you the fact. If you are ahead of these with new techniques and marketing tactics you can still fight.
