PRO:

Very easy to use. It also has a tracking feature that lets you track the viewers a video has on each site you send it to - something I've never seen anywhere else. This tool can save hours and hours of time because it takes so long to upload the same video over and over again and this eliminates much of that.

You can track your videos by day, week or month or specify a time period. You can also look at the chart by viewers, comments, ratings or cumulative  views. I love it! It lets me provide quick reports to the musicians I work for.

CON:
Haven't seen any yet! I do wish they'd add more musician-specific sites, though, but the tool was designed for more general use so I won't fault them for that.

RECOMMENDATIONS:
When you first upload a video, you will upload the video file itself (you get longer videos using the FLV format), then you will be asked to type the required describing information into the boxes provided - such as Title, Description, Keywords and Category. I like to use copy-and-paste from a text file so this information is always consistent. Then you will be asked you upload that information.

You'll be presented with a checklist of sites to send your video to, so you'll need all your sign-up information (ID and password) for every site you want the video sent to. This information is then stored for future use so you don't have to type all this in every time.
