Convince me why a twitter targeted HD video site needs to exist?

How are you different from any general video sharing site on the net?

Facebook consider "Able to share a video in status update" as a small add-on feature. Why when it's in the twitter world is it considered a good idea for a startup :/ Surely you can appreciate to some, this seems bizarre.

HD is only one single feature that we added that keeps us ahead of our competition.

Most of these comments are very narrow in vision. Vidly has a long-term vision that only begins with Twitter. We'll be sure to keep the community posted as we continue to release new features and slowly reveal the direction of the company.

We appreciate the doubt, without it, we wouldn't be having any fun.

you're not alone, I find it bizarre but usually keep my mouth shut. What's the value play for me to leave youtube to use this?
