Where our idea is different is that we're not just offering video upload or a quick how-to site, but a complete training system for a fraction of the cost of any of our competitors, and with zero technical setup. We do much more than text or video in our lesson builders, but we also combine that with lesson delivery, sales, communication and assessment tools, and various privacy levels as well (free public lessons, paid public lessons, private lessons, etc).
We don't see YouTube as a competitor, since they just provide video delivery, which isn't functional or private enough for companies to deliver their private training through.
We've taken the essence of online learning and built a simple way of achieving that all in one place. That certainly has similarities to other services like YouTube (we both allow video upload), but I wouldn't use Flickr for training either, now that they do video as well... ;)
What is new about Dojo versus our competitors is that it provides an informal learning experience specifically for companies and trainers (no grades :), and is technically and financially more affordable for anyone. The existing solutions are prohibitively expensive for most companies, and most including the open source tools are geared towards formal learning institutions as their primary focus.
After that mouthful, I guess we'll go back over our site and see if we can hone the message a bit now :)
