Ease of Use:  

Metacafe is exceedingly easy to use. In fact, once you find a video you like, it’s easy to find yourself watching dozens of others simply because the video recommendation system is so good at providing links to other videos you might like. If you are just looking to browse, you need only to do one search and then follow the links to keep busy for quite a long time.

The search function on Metacafe is useful and gives accurate results. You can search by specific categories, but if you want a more advanced search than that, you’ll need to download the Metacafe application. It’s annoying and probably not worth it if you don’t plan on submitting your own movies.

The ratings, descriptions and links to other sharing and playlist options are easy to find, making each viewing pane a complete navigation hub. 

Help/Support:  

Metacafe actually has one of the most useful support systems out of any of the sites in this review. Besides the traditional email technical support form, Metacafe offers a bunch of tutorials and FAQs that can probably answer your questions without the need of a tech support rep.

The FAQs are searchable, meaning that you don’t have to sift through an entire FAQ document for the information you need. And if that’s not enough, Metacafe has a very useful set of forums where other users can share the solutions that they’ve discovered.

The Producer Rewards program is very important to users of Metacafe, and fortunately they have posted a lot of information about how it works and how to submit videos. 

Metacafe may not be as well-known as YouTube, but it has a considerable global community. The video library is large and thorough, and doesn’t suffer from all the duplicates and TV recordings that litter many other video share sites. Metacafe gives you the feeling of a clean, thought-out and organized way to get the videos you like most.
