Just a quick post to let you all know that I've been testing Wistia (http://www.wistia.com), an online video platform. (Paid service. I'm not an affiliate or anything.)

I've only been using it for a short time, but it's very good.

Some things I like about it:

• The stats are awesome. You can see how many people loaded the webpage, versus how many actually clicked play, and how much of the video they watched, and what parts of the video they watched over and over.
  
• It plays in everything, browsers, iPad, iPhone, etc.
  
• The backend interface is very easy to use.

Things I don't like:

• It can get very expensive if you have a popular video. I wouldn't use it for viral videos or videos where you expect to get A LOT of plays. The bandwidth can get expensive, so I'd still use YouTube for those types of videos where you want them to possibly go viral.

I know there are several services like this one out there, but I've been enjoying it so I thought I'd share.
