5min.com is a new video site geared towards answering
questions. You’ve got 5 minutes to teach people something of interest
and answer their
questions.
“How to make a Surfer on Acid cocktail?”
“How to make the Jackson Cube?”
“How to make your own home video projector?
These are all burning questions. And now we’ve got answers…
5min.com bills itself as a
Life Videopedia where you can get the answers to your questions - in 5 minutes or less - via video. Anyone can participate by uploading videos and there’s already quite a few excellent ones in there (although the site’s only been live for a handful of days.)
5min.com is based in Israel. I got the opportunity to
interview one of 5min.com’s founders,
Ran Harnevo, and that interview is provided below. I find the site fascinating and I think it’ll be a success. YouTube is a mess, and it’s harder and harder to find stuff on there unless it gets very popular or you’re tracking specific people in your community. 5min.com is a niche site, targeted at helping people with interesting content, and gives people a chance to get their name out there in their own specialties.
