Stickam labels itself as an "all-in-one multimedia tool". To me, it is more of a storage area for your videos, music files and photos. Bloggers would find the service provided by this website useful as it provides a convenient way to publish those media files. In addition, gives up to 500 MB of free webspace.
Uploading media files is easy, as steps are clearly illustrated. Even newbie bloggers would find it easy to get things going. For photos, they provide a hyperlink for visitors to your site to click on. For example, here's the hyperlink provided by Stickam after I've uploaded a picture:
Range Rover
The same goes for music:
Prelude, 4th Lute Suite
For videos, they provide a HTML tag. When you publish the tag, your visitors will see the first frame of the uploaded video (see my previous post). And once it is clicked, visitors will be redirected to Stickam's site, where they can play the video.
If you have a webcam, you can also use Stickam as a video recording tool. Other services include a chatroom (which is often deserted), and a gallery of videos and photos uploaded by other Stickam members.
In my opinion, the services provided by Stickam are rather useful. I like that fact that media files can be easily uploaded, and that it gives 500MB of space with no bandwidth limitation. My only gripe is the intermittent breaks during media playback using the Stickam player. But since it's streamed from their server, I guess it's forgivable. Do give it a shot.
Here's the website.
