UGC

Here are four sites that collect and curate videos found on online streaming services like YouTube and Google Video. Similar to a YouTube channel but with stronger brand identity. Many of the documentaries are old, but have found new light when set in context provided by the curator. Some serve as forums for the discussion of the videos as well. In terms of traffic, the best one is "moviesfoundonline" with about 60,000 visitors a month. It aggregates both fiction and nonfiction films.
