Tube Mogul (http://www.Tubemogul.com) - TubeMogul.com is an industry leading website who offers Video Marketing solutions. They also have two free and highly popular applications 1. OneLoad (Video Syndication Tool) 2. InPlay (Video Analytics Tool much like a Google Analytics but specialized for videos.) The thing I love the most about TubeMogul is that you can upload your video once to OneLoad and then Tube Mogul sends that same video to many different video submission sites at once (YouTube, MySpace, Howcast, Vimeo, Viddler, DailyMotion, etc.) - a great timesaver! However, don't try to upload a commercial video for your book, website or products or else they will shut down your account. Unfortunately, I learned this the hard way 
