If you want to learn how to use a new Web 2.0 tool or a new software program, sometimes there’s just no substitute for being shown what to do. However, while instructional videos can be great, it can be hard to know which one to choose. Who wants to wade through 10 minutes of poor quality video only to find it’s not what you wanted anyway! A search on popular video sharing sites won’t necessarily find what you’re looking for either … and certainly won’t tell you what’s good and what’s not. Enter Lookah.tv.

We’ve done the hard work for you by collecting the best instructional videos about using popular software programs and Web 2.0 tools, and brought them together in one place. Every video has been watched and vetted by the site’s reviewers to ensure the quality and content make it one worth watching.

How does it work?

Simply select the tool or program you’re interested in from the category tabs on the left-hand side of the page, and you will be shown the videos that are available. Each one comes with a brief description and running time. Click on the one you want. Videos are embedded within the Lookah site, so you aren’t sent off across the Internet to view them. Then, once you’ve watched it, you can selected a related video or re-visit the category tabs to look for something else. Alternatively, you can browse the most popular or latest additions.
