YouTube has only existed for a few years now as it was created in 2005. And it’s not like it has been around forever like Google or it’s the only video streaming website out there. Of course not. YouTube has a number of alternatives. And not just one or two like some people like to think; there’s a whole world of video streaming-and-downloading websites out there that could at any time send YouTube out of business. Whereas most of these sites have almost the same features as YouTube, some have more specialised features and even offer higher quality videos than YouTube. Even better, those looking for Nigerian home videos don’t necessarily need to rely on sites like Hulu, Daily Motion, Vimeo, Stickam, or Blinkx… not when Nigeria has a number of websites that pretty much offer the same. After all, who understands your taste for home videos other than your fellow compatriots?
