Yashi: Video Hosting for Free

Yashi is yet another free video hosting servicee. Like Zippyvideos, it offers 20MB per file quota to registered users and 10MB for non-registrants.

But my experience told me the connection of Yashi is not stable enough to view video smoothly. Anyway, it can be the connection problem on my side.

Yashi supports tagging, but i don't like the way it treats tags. I cannot find a tag via put it on an URL, like what del.icio.us or Flickr do. Instead, it uses a Tag ID to identify various tags.
