Climbclips is a new video oriented community for climbers. As a member of Climbclips, you can upload your own footage and show everyone your mad climbing, scaling and abseiling skills (submitted videos must be no larger than 300mb in size). Or you can browse through the collection to admire the feats of others. Videos are organized by date, views, categories (these include alpine, bouldering, big wall and trad, among others) and by rating. Each video displays time of duration, user and views. Members of the site get their own requisite profile space, where they can aggregate comments and display their uploaded videos. Other benefits of membership include personal favorites, groups and bookmarks. There are also the staple 2.0 features such as a tag cloud, search bar, blog, and chat box.
“In a rapidly growing digital age, massive video sites like You-Tube lose our climbing videos among millions of other clips. ClimbClips provides a central location on the internet for user uploadable climbing media. It is our goal to bring climbing video to one website, thus making it easier to find entertaining video clips as well a build an online climbing community. All are welcome to signup and upload your video from professional videographers to cam toting boulderers. Click the green "register" link at the top of the screen and get started today!”
ClimbClips offers a niche site for climbers. It’s more collective and communal then what you’d find on all encompassing video sites such as Youtube. With ClimbClips users can easily browse through climbing related videos to find just what they’re looking for.
How is this site going to attract more users? Will users be able to submit photos as well as videos?
