WeShow Video Directory

WeShow launched today with strong investor backing — such as The Pilot Group (owned and managed by Bob Pittman, father of MTV and ex-COO of AOL Time Warner) and Bill Sahlman (Harvard Business School vice-dean and professor of entrepreneurship). While we have no definitive figures, it is suspected to be around $5-7million.

WeShow brings an editorial approach to selecting and organizing the best online videos available from sites such as YouTube, DailyMotion, Metacafe, Google Video and others. There is a monthly “WeShow Awards,” where users get to vote on content from each country WeShow has a local version for (US, UK and Brazil). It also has a "Learning Section" where you can bone up on subjects ranging from Calculus to Cooking.

With a pleasing interface and reasonably good navigation, I call this a hit.
