OurMedia.com - Your Creative Outlet

Think of OurMedia as YouTube for the creative, earthy, crunchy, grassroots crowd. Like YouTube, OurMedia is an outlet for individual expression via video, webcam, or even mobile. Unlike YouTube, OurMedia focuses on quality, creative, and thought-provoking media. If you’re into Chris Crocker meltdowns, animated crack ponies, and ninja light sabers, you might want to stick to YouTube. OurMedia aims for a higher purpose than dumb entertainment. It actually wants to nurture the artistic mind and create an open source forum for media that tells stories rather than short, snippets of inanity. OurMedia works with open media projects like Creative Commons and Outhink . It encourages remix culture, media convergence, and creativity, while providing you the tools to do it. Just create an account and get creative.

“Learn. Create. Share. Get noticed. Ourmedia is a global community and learning center where you can gain visibility for your digital creativity.

We’re not here to show off funny videos to audiences and advertisers. We’re here to serve the needs of media producers and creative individuals, by helping them not just watch video but use and participate in media. Ourmedia is for users, not just consumers.”

OurMedia provides a nice reprieve from YouTube. It provides a platform for people who want to get noticed for quality works rather than laughing babies or pranks.

Can OurMedia beat YouTube? Will it appear too high minded and elitist to users? How will they gain an audience and users?
