Visuarios is not another “funny videos” site – their tagline “broadcast your skills” is also a clever variation of the more general YouTube one “broadcast yourself”: Visuarios lets you “share your videos about everyday knowledge with everyday people.” Obviously a service like this is only as good as the user submitted content and probably needs to grow over time to be really useful for a lot of people. But in a way this kind of project is like a visual how-to Wiki and this obviously has a lot of potential.

Visuarios is still quite new (they launched in October), here their blog, their FAQ and their Terms of Use – it is always recommended to read a service’s TOS before submitting content. (Their TOS appears to be more or less the same as those by many other better known video sharing sites.) In their FAQ Visuarios also mentions that “People can pay you for the help you provide through your videos. (You need a PayPal account to be able to receive payment).”

It would be great if Visuarios could also support Creative Commons licenses – most video sharing sites don’t at this point. Exceptions: blip.tv, Ourmedia (and of course its host the Internet Archive) and Ning Videos.

Maybe Visuarios is a site that could be especially interesting for educators…?
