As much as you surf the ‘Net there’s always great sites you’ve never heard of. Howcast.com is another good one.
Wow, some of these (especially Howtovdos) are really tiny–they don’t even have traffic. Others are pretty interesting, like Oodlebox. One that I’m surprised you missed is http://www.monkeysee.com, which has nearly ten thousands professionally produced videos–all shot in high def. WonderHowTo.com is a 5Min.com competitor, but seems to have quite a few more videos.
Still, a unique look at this space, and I’ll have to bookmark a number of these sites. Thanks!
