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!
As much as you surf the ‘Net there’s always great sites you’ve never heard of. Howcast.com is another good one.
