Brightcove?
Seems I see Brightcove hosting more and more videos, and they've partnered with some pretty big names like Salon, The Wall Street Journal, and TMZ.com.
A possibility as a new host for the Sift?

Besides, there's a hilarious clip of George H.W. Bush (Dubya's dad) playing grabass with Teri Hatcher:

Ewww, he's 82.
Dirty old man.

Wow, thanks for all your great comments on the possibility of adding Brightcove, everybody.
Sheesh.
Sorry, theo, I haven't had a chance to look at the site until now.
I selected some random categories and tested a few clips. Pages take quite a long time to load, but that could be just temporary network issues.
But yeah, I like it so far.
If the loading takes longer (and I'm not always sure it does), I think it's because the video is generally of a higher quality.
The submissions they get seem more from professionals than just from any low-res schlub on the street, a la YouTube, etc.
I've done some more poking around. There are quite a few sub-categories within the channel listings. (I particularly like the National Geographic, Slate, and GSN) A drop-down menu for everything would be nice, instead of having several clicks to see all the content.
But as long as the code's there to grab, I'm happy!
OK, this looks like an awesome site. The videos seem larger and sharper. I'd love to see this added.
