The popularity of the YouTube video sharing site has grown so much that it already has clones. The British counterpart, called SelfcastTV, was created in the image and likeness of its American brother, but its developers do not hide ambitions.
The creators of the service SelfcastTV - a team of developers who have created a well-known search engine for multimedia content Blinkx . These technologies are very well known in the professional circles of the specialists related to search engines. However, various Blinkx programs never became truly popular among the general public. The company had to concentrate mainly on the corporate market, but they did not give up hopes of creating a mass product.
SelfcastTV service is an attempt to apply the unique technology of Blinkx to create a popular website. As a model to follow, a well-known American service YouTube was chosen, whose popularity really beats all records. In January 2006, after an incomplete year after its creation, YouTube gave out more than 3 million video streams per day and came out on top in terms of popularity among all photo and video services on the Internet. More than 10,000 videos are uploaded to YouTube every day.
