Nice site. Although, what's the value proposition besides being free video hosting? YouTube provides that along with millions of users.

Thanks! Some basic advantages for starters:

1) no signup/login requirement whatsoever, enabling anonymous video publishing,

2) very low friction uploading - just 2-3 steps to get a video on the web, visible to anyone in the world, from any device

3) lax content restrictions - if its legal, we'll host it

4) no forced G+ integration

Currently focused on the simple utility value, but as usage picks up, we will be targeting some of the larger issues on youtube that are driving content creators & consumers mad.

Also forgot to mention, we have animated GIF -> video conversion. This means uploaded GIFs are converted to video at 1/16th the filesize, and enhanced with better playback tools.
