Vreel to launch Stage6 replacement soon, launches silly video now
The How To Geek, on the other hand, has a more in-depth look at the new service and an interview with the site's founder. The new site uses the DivX Web Player and a decent looking site navigation. One nice feature is a pop-out button that lets you watch videos in a separate browser window.
Vreel is currently in private beta and accepting beta testers, with a full launch to follow once a few bugs have been worked out, including problems with files uploaded that don't have a 4:3 or 16:9 aspect ratio.

With Halloween fast approaching, it's a great time to get in some practice defending your territory against zombies. In Graveyard Shift, you take aim at zombies and other creepy-crawlies, blasting them into splatters of cartoony green guts. It's a casual first-person shooter, and it's very easy to get the hang of - use the mouse to aim, click to fire. Graveyard Shift has at least 15 levels, and it might even have some secret stages I haven't unlocked yet.
They key to getting good at Graveyard Shift is learning to use ...

There's actually a lot of viable Stage6 clones around. I'm not sure why everyone focuses on Vreel just because it has funding.
For example, the ones mentioned above.
The most mature one that I've seen (one that actually might stand up to other sites) is Stagevu:

Check it out.

I’ve been fascinated with the development of Vreel. Initially, I couldn’t decide between it being an elaborate hoax or that the people behind it were out of their depth. I’m now persuaded that this is a genuine attempt to develop a high quality online video streaming site but that the brains behind it are really out on a limb here. Anyhow, there’s really a great story behind Vreel and it’s not finished yet....

Vreel is a front company for Zango.
Please beaware that Zango is a nasty malware company, and do not be fooled into switching off your anti-virus to install it.
Also as an ex member of Vreel, I have noticed that my comments in the Vreel forum after my PC was infected by a trojan, were edited by Vreel/Zango staff.
Trust Kaspersky or trust Zango/Vreel it's your choice, I made mine.
