Former Fox Wonderkid Launches Yet Another How-To Video Site

Michael Learmonth | January 30, 2008 5:38 PM

Former Fox exec Stephen Chao, one of the showmen behind old school reality hits "America's Most Wanted" and "Cops," is launching a how-to video site, WonderHowTo.com with E.W. Scripps. The NYT details Chao's colorful history with both Rupert Murdoch (Stephen nearly drowned Rupe's dog) and Barry Diller (Barry nearly decapitated him with a flying videotape), and his ambition to create an educational alternative to YouTube.

The how-to video space, if there is such a thing, is getting to be a crowded one. An incomplete list: NY-by-way-of Israel's 5min.com, backed by Spark; UK-based Video Jug and Martha Stewart Living, which is testing Marthapedia. Howstuffworks, eHow and the NYT's own About.com, are all adding video. One more: Howcast, ex-Google exec Jason Liebman's startup, which was supposed to launch last fall but may actually be debuting soon.

Wonderhowto is not a competitor to any of the existing how to video websites, it really is their new best friend!

They point to all those sites, but give its audience one location to find them all.... and connect them all with related videos from different sites.

The google of How-To-Video, but with more than just search...
There clearly is the function of wonderment.

How else would I know I wanted to watch a video about how to make a tomato glow in the dark?
