DailyMotion...

So the popular French video site is launching a US-based site with a pretty fancy team of MTV veterans and will even seek to pay content-producers. DailyMotion has Google in its sites and is seeking to dominate the second-place spot behind YouTube. I personally think they're great...and the newly assembled team is going to pose a unique challenge to YouTube and everyone else in the industry. Their model of paying for content hasn't really been proven, but they are definitely going to be a company to reckon with competitively.
