WebVid (Alternity)



WebVid is an online video hosting website used for uploading media to the Internet, (e.g. the latest movie trailers, music & music videos, and fan-created videos from various genres). The service was first brought online on May 17, 1988 and was one of the first major websites on the newly commercial Internet. Within a year, WebVid had over 15 million users in the United States alone, with twice that number of videos uploaded. The site’s first major trailers included teaser and full-length trailers for Baja, Home Alone, Die Hard 2, and Terminator 2: Judgment Day.
