Oakland, CA, July 17, 2006- ViewDo LLC announced today the launch of ViewDo.com, an online center for instructional videos that can be downloaded to portable media devices. The site is intended to give users a "one-stop shop" for finding, posting and downloading step-by-step videos.
"We know that online videos are nothing new, but being able to see tedious instructions in video form and actually take them with you can be extremely valuable," said Gordy Wray, co-founder of ViewDo. "We also realize that everyone is good at something, whether it be how to throw a knuckleball or how to shuffle poker chips. ViewDo gives people an outlet to share how to do those things in which they excel."
ViewDo is designed to grow from an online library into a master 'hub' of downloadable instructional videos. For the content to become more expansive and diverse, the library relies on the skills and know-how of its users and encourages them to become video contributors. After a user finds the particular how-to video they are looking for, ViewDo allows them to download the content, offering them a convenient way to bring instructions with them and follow the steps at their own pace.
"One of the best benefits of ViewDo is that it shows people how devices like iPods®, which until now have been primarily used for entertainment purposes, can double as a very valuable tool," said Alan Puccinelli, co-founder of ViewDo. "When you need to know how to change a flat tire, it's not exactly convenient to run back and forth between the nearest computer and your car. With ViewDo, you can download the simple tutorial to your portable media device, take it with you to your car, and watch the video as many times and at whatever pace you need until you get the job done."
