Niche Tube
By Grant | September 24, 2008
I just came across a neat idea for a twist on a video site called TVLesson.com. After the meteoric rise of YouTube there have been many “me-too” video sharing sites pop up with the exact same model. I have to appreciate clever entrepreneurs who put a bit of a twist on an idea, even if it is slight. Enter TVLesson.com, the video sharing site for how-to videos.
I found myself perusing a number of the categories. They have a lot already: from marketing how-to to hair styling how-to. At first blush it looks like there are a lot of amateur-types in these how-to videos. (If I’m going to take the time to learn something, I’d appreciate it if I knew the methodology I was learning was quality). I think they need to get some community critical mass so that the rating system could actually start to be reliably used to separate the good from the bad / painfully average.
I leave you on this blog post, with message from Frank Furness of TVLessons.com fame… not sure why he has a bad graphic blue screen image of the Forbidden City in the background, but ce la vie!

Frank Furness is an untapped well of genius, by the looks of things.
As for the background image, I think it is meant to inspire ancient, practiced, and proven wisdom?
If not, I have nothing.
