5min How To Videos
If you find that some of your favorite YouTube videos are HowTo’s, then you should check out 5min.com, a video sharing site dedicated to short tutorials.
The vision behind 5min is a very simple one: any solution can be visually explained in no more than 5 minutes. Our aim is to create the first communal Life Videopedia allowing users from all over the globe to contribute their knowledge by sharing visual guides covering arts, business, fashion, sports, health, tech, food, and much more.
5min works because of the time restriction and categorization. Tagging, embedding and voting are features also.
Also check out VideoJug and About.com’s video section.

This site is pretty good. I like VideoJug more because the videos are more professional and quite witty.

I like 5min better. videojug is ok but it is too “british” for me…

I don’t know, I went to videojug and I think they’re boring. They produce all of their content and in the same manner. I prefer a more varied site and meanwhile, 5min does the work for me…

You guys should check out wonderhowto.com. We curated all the videos of videojug and 5min into one…plus about 20 other howto sites. The site is going live in early october. In the meantime, I am working my butt off trying to get the videos curated and ready to work…

5min definitely has a lot of content. But other sites have higher-quality video. Monkeysee.com seems to have the highest quality how-to videos with the most helpful content.
