For many users, this is simply not a viable solution. SproutVideo offers a very comparable platform and we've already had several former DailyMotion Cloud users import their content. Companies can have very large video libraries and migrating to a new video hosting platform can be a lot of work. To that end, we created a tool that will allow former DailyMotion Cloud users automatically import their libraries into a SproutVideo account. Hopefully that clears things up a bit! http://sproutvideo.com/dailymotionAs others have already pointed out how Google compares, take Amazon for instance:
Online Payments - Amazon Payments
Cloud Services - Amazon Web Services
Mobile Apps - Amazon AppStore
Mobile OS - Amazon FireOS
Maps and Navigation - Amazon Maps API
Retail Outlets - N/A
Group Buying - Amazon Local
Cloud Storage - Amazon CloudDrive / Amazon S3
Mobile Messaging - N/A
Car Service, Ride Sharing - N/A
C2C e-commerice - Amazon Services/Amazon WebStore (not quite the same, but close)
Online Travel Booking - N/A

12/18 isn't bad.
I issued a DMCA takedown notice to their host and it was taken care of in a couple of days. I suggest doing the same.
Although I really only watch on my TV and not my computer, I like the concept and it seems well implemented. Cracking the nut of figuring out what to watch is a tough one, that's for sure. Good luck!
Seems like everyone is tweeting these days and this is a much slicker interface than the one I built. Good job!

Hiring in NYC is also very difficult at least from my experience from working for other startups here. Finding qualified candidates who aren't already happily employed is difficult.
I've actually heard the opposite from some friends about the necessity of a car out there. I guess that will really just come down to how I spend my time and where I need to travel.
My startup isn't unique and has a bunch of competition already so that really doesn't bother me too much. Bring it on! (Ok, maybe I'm a little competitive...)
Now I could be very wrong about this, but I feel like if you're out in SF and you meet people it's somewhat likely they might be in tech where as in in NYC it's very unlikely. In NYC, you have to go out of your way to find those kinds of people, possibly going to tech events which, in my experience, sometimes feel like you're going on a blind date.
Now it's possible that I just don't know the right people in NYC, but from what I've heard from friends I have in SF, it seems like you're just more likely to run into tech people making it easier to make the right kinds of connections.
My company has business for over two years and is profitable. I'm not just a guy with a laptop and an idea. I'm just not happy with the kinds of connections I'm making in NYC nor the speed at which my company is growing. Both of these could obviously be linked to me and not my city, but I think it's worth finding out.
