There are a number of Q & A web sites, like Yahoo Answers, Yedda and Grupthink among others, that have recently emerged to embrace a large number of users looking to get their questions answered. VideoJug takes a slightly different approach to helping people to find answers online. VideoJug is a video web site with International, UK and US versions, focused on helping to explain life in 'how to' videos. VideoJug helps to answer questions like:
How to tie a full windsor knot?
How to perform the perfect golf swing?
How to conceal bags under your eyes?
VideoJug produces several of the videos itself but also offers users the ability to upload their own 'how to' videos. VideoJug 'how to' videos are accompanied by a transcribed version of the instructions which can be uploaded to an iPod 0r printed in text version. Videos are categorized into a number of different categories which all offer RSS feeds of the content. Registered users are offered the ability to save their favorite videos. VideoJug viral hooks include the ability to share videos via email and embed videos into other sites (as shown below in the How to Make a Mojito video).
Bottom-line: If you are trying to figure out 'how to' do something new you might want to search VideoJug for some visual directions.

DoHowTo.com might be of interest. Its a search engine dedicated to free how-to videos. So if video jug doesn't have, say, videos on dreamweaver, dohowto would show you results from tons of other sites that do.

Good site and good review. You know, you answered questions here that I hadn't thought to ask yet so those people on Digg complaining that reviews like this shouldn't be submitted - just the sites themselves - can take a flying leap.

Mojito I'll have to give that a try. Most people don't know how to tie a tie. By the time you need to know you are living with a bunch of guys drinking beer. Learn how to tie a tie here and be done with it.

VideoJug is good, but they use actors in their videos, which always makes me question the credibility. http://www.MonkeySee.com is a rapidly growing how to video site, produces videos featuring top experts in their respective fields. Worth a look!
