• Dailymotion
• Facebook
• Flickr
• Giphy
• Imgur
• Instagram
• Pinterest

@Acollin if your video isnt too huge and you are having trouble getting it to a hosted site..

you could email it to me and I will put it on my flickr site and you can then link it in here after that..

Thanks for the information
How big is too big?
I will try to insert the video into one or two sites, but most of them, I have never heard of. Thanks too for the option of sending you the video for an assist.

"How big is too big?"

I am not sure what my mail size limit is.. if you send it and it bounces/fails then it is too big ;-)
limit might be around 25megs

Just tried to send it to you and my aol account would not load it— nothing over 25 and my file was 77.
I guess my days as a movie distributer are over.

Sorry I cant get the file from you..

I use Flickr.. I believe you can create a free account and keep a small amount of photos/video without charge.
Not sure on the others..

I needed to post some videos a year or so ago and uploaded them to YouTube. It was quick and easy and I clicked a link to make them public but not indexed (I think that was the term) so that they don't show up in a search and are only accessible via the link.

At this point, I am a bit leery about using social media sites. I know this may make little sense to some and probably makes no real sense to me, but I see it as making myself more vulnerable to internet foolery. This forum is about as public as I get and I felt a bit weird creating an account here.
not posting the video of my car running with me holding up my sears tach is OK with me.
