Video Tutorials: Tubetorial, VideoJug

Tubetorial

Tubetorial and VideoJug are two streaming video how-to sites. Each offers video instruction of for various topics.

Tubetorial offers “screencasts”, which are video captures of software in use. The site was created by Chris Pearson and Brian Clark, designer and copywriter, respectively, but is now part of the SplashPress group of websites (which include Performancing and 901am, both of which I write for). Much of the older content was aimed at bloggers looking for instruction about blogging platforms, theme design and modification, advertising options, and the like. Newer tubetorials (which I am producing, by the way), will continue in this vein, though I’ll be branching out to cover illustration/ diagramming software, web 2.0 mashups, and more.

VideoJug

VideoJug is a streaming video site along the lines of YouTube. That is, you can embed videos into your website. However, the content at VideoJug is all how-to videos that cover a wide range of topics: food, drink, health, beauty, DIY (do-it-yourself), cars & bicycles, house & garden, pets, sports, and more. If you want to contribute your own work, you can upload both videos and slideshows.
