Introducing ClimbClips.com


ClimbClips.com is a new website made by and for climbers. ClimbClips is an online climbing video community. Our goal is to become the number one place to upload, share, talk about and watch climbing related video. The website is in it's infancy, having just launched two months ago. We at ClimbClips look forward to growing with the climbing community.

Why? Video specific content on the internet is booming like never before. With You-Tube being the clear dominator of online video, in many ways it's far too large. In it's shadow, there is room for content specific niche sites to thrive. Made by and for climbers of any type, (Rock Climbers, Mountaineers, Ice Climbers etc..) ClimbClips provides a 'video clubhouse' to shelter and support the engaging and traditionally tight-knit world of climbing.

Features:
Climbclips is very similar to You-Tube in functionality. Features of the site so far include,
- User uploadable video from almost any format, right from your home computer.
- Upload videos up to 300mb in size. (200mb more than You-Tube)
- Use the "Embed" code to embed videos on your own webpage, just like YouTube.
- Like a video? Click the "Send to friend" link right on the video to email them a link to the clip.
- Full-screen Playback. Click the small round button in the lower right corner of each video clip to enable full-screen playback.
- Choose a video category when uploading. Categories include, sport, bouldering, trad, alpine, ice, mixed, big-wall, indoor/comp, lifestyle/fun and other.
- Sort videos by rating, views or most recent. You may also view by catagory.
- Rate videos you like or don't like with a 5 star rating system.
- Chat box on the front page lets you chat with other users in real time.
- "TagCloud" shows popular search terms and tags.
- Search the site by video, users, blog or groups.
- Site blog keeps you up to date on what's going on.
- Customize your own profile with your own "avatar" pic, profile colors and more.
- Make "friends" with fellow site users.
- Send email like messages to other users for them to read later.
- Form groups for like minded interests.
- Sign a guest book on other people's profiles.
- Upload pictures as well as video!

Again, the site is very new. There may be a few bugs left over that we would love to hear about! We would also like to hear about any suggestions that users might have to make the site better. Lets work together and make this a site we all want to use!

So check it out, sign up for a free account (ClimbClips will always be 100% free to use) and if you've got some sweet video, go ahead and upload it!
