Drop in Magnify.net, a new video sharing website that has some distinctive differences in comparison with such video communities like YouTube, Google, Metacafe, etc. At first sight it seems as an aggregator for video content.

Magnify is not focused on building a portal around user-uploaded videos. Website publishers are allowed to create their own video channels and populate it with videos from other sites that allow embedding. But the issue is that the flow of the user interface is confusing.

If you create your own channel, there will be piles of publisher settings to allow customization. The advantage is that you can add this to the site, allowing readers to add their own videos which are catered for this audience. These videos can be rated, commented, tagged, shared. Magnify.net also offers a RSS feed of all videos on the site (allows you to collect video from more than one source). the other features are playlists, widgets. Sometimes it occurs the site is under construction.

They are like vermins who don’t have any of the server load and don’t need the storage space and bandwidth like YouTube and other video sharing services. Based on the principle as keepvid, purevideo, searchforvideo, etc. That’s a great idea, you see. You can find the same sites surfing the web.

Magnify.net was founded by Steve Rosenbaum, Simon Cavalletto and Scott Milener.
