a bea c (# 26) is right. Most schools have to block video sites, all of them. This could be an invaluable resource for teachers, if the ads are appropriate for kids. Also, there could be a “rating” tag added to indicate the minimum age allowed to watch, and the maximum age that would probably enjoy watching (based on the interest level, etc. Barney showing how to make a PB&J would have a min. of 0yrs and a max of 7.)

i am excited about the site, and am looking fwd. to using it. Concerning the COMMERCIAL or PR video postings, why not have a “Commerciality rating” of 0 to 5 - if a great recipe is shown being cooked with Wesson Oil and Cool-Whip and Betty Crocker Cake Mix, rate it a 2 or 3.

For educators, websites like this one are wonderful. Most school districts block video sites, but with an “instructional” video site, we may be able to work with network administrators. I want my students to turn in fun projects, not just text on a page. This gives me a good tool to teach my 8th graders both the content of the course, some video editing, and social networking without exposing them to a lot the parents would probably object to.

Thanks!

I thought it’s great. I’ve already used it (first time I made a perfect white rice), and I’ll use SuTree.com again.

I advise you all to keep an eye on sutree - my guess is that they’re going to be the next big thing in the web.

As for people like #23 - maybe someone can add the following lesson to sutree - “the biological and psychological roots of envy”?

not 1 cent. First time I’ve seen a site like this, and there was a lot to like about it, hence the post.

How much did they pay you guys to post this up. There are 100 other sites like this, big deal.

Sutree is very impressive with it’s simplicity.
The concept is simple but still very clever.
Go find a decent free video tutorial/lesson using YouTube or Google…
I hope we’ll see SuTree grows and indexes all free video tutorials/lessons.

I hope their next version will include more community features, but even now - I like this site ( - :

Very clean site with a simple idea, to teach people with videos that already exist but are hard to find. Another brand new site, http://www.brainplugg.com , is doing a very similar concept but host a challenge for users to win money and vote on submissions every 2 weeks.

It’s a nice concept, but aggregating is a lazy way to go 2.0. I don’t see a reason why it could work when eventually there’s no community here, only index.
There are 2 websites that do the same - http://www.5min.com and http://www.videojug.com - but they also give community srevice and the right vibes for users. I don’t see sutree doing that…

Does anyone think videos like this one:
http://artcollectorsguild.com/detail/?id=3
fits in on this website? Yes, they do come from a gallery trying to sell artwork, but on the other hand, they are very informational. Please let me know your opinion- thanks!

Heh each video can’t even be played on the site and is simply a link off to about.com or somewhere similar.

This is not sexy and pretty boring, frontpage material?

- I think this is a decent site -

- Aggregation just doesn’t really; turn people on.

- Then again , on a simple level everything is aggregation.

“Youtube is aggregation of online videos that might have made it online without youtube….”

- Like a said a real simple level, its all the same

- the problem is this site isn’t really - on the simple level its like a 3rd degree aggregator … its aggregates the aggregators

Word: Aggreagator Count: 6

sorry, RB

SuTree rimes with sue - as in cease and desist. I am wary of those websites who want their users to pull videos from all across the web.

And at the end of the day, data aggregation is worth a pile of gold. Especially with useful content like instructional videos.

By: Duncan Riley

To those mentioning the functionality of it, my thoughts precisely. There’s a lot to like about this site, it’s not pushing the boundaries in terms of tech but it’s a solid, practical approach to user aggregation.

By: patricia

patricia — Fri, 04 May 2007 04:53:17 +0000

Smart idea, because I think companies/advertisers are going to start getting more into creating content wrapped around their brands and instructional videos are a great way to do it without being overly intrusive.

Tech is hot in Israel right now. I keep seeing interesting companies and solutions come out of there. It’s not new but it does seem to be growing. It’s always interesting to see the innovation taking place in other countries.
