No sports post yesterday as I was out watching The Dark Knight for a third time (it's incredible how many little details I missed out the first two times), not to mention that this has been an utterly uneventful week for sports. I'll make up for the missing post on Sunday, fingers crossed.
At any rate, the VReel beta has been around for little more than a month now, which is enough time for a decent amount of videos to start appearing on the site. While it's a bit silly to even think that it will ever have as many videos as YouTube, that might not be necessarily a bad thing. After all, following the footsteps of its predecessor Stage6, VReel is about quality and not quantity.
This quality is definitely there, with the use of the DivX codec, videos are as crisp as they were on Stage6. Content is still a bit limited, naturally, but with "more then one hundred thousand unique hits per day" according to Wikipedia, it's only a matter of time before things get interesting.
On a side note, I've tickets for the new X-Files movie tomorrow, I really hope it won't suck...
TL;DR version:
While VReel might not ever attract as big an audience as YouTube, it does have higher-quality videos, and fewer retarded comments from users. Those are two major improvements over YT.
