About Us
WonderHowTo.com is a community-fueled, search engine and directory for Free How-To Video.
With an index of more than 225,000 videos (October 2008), we provide the largest, most contemporary, and most diverse
resource in this increasingly vibrant space.
The Company
Employing both human and automated curation, we are focused on one clear organizing principle: sourcing
truly great, Free How-To Video. We are website and platform agnostic: meaning, we embrace all content
providers whose videos display a bona fide intent to instruct... on any topic, in this big,
increasingly Wonderful world. As of launch, WonderHowTo provides content from more than 1900 specialized
sites spanning 35 vertical categories and 424 sub-categories. And we joyfully add thousands of revelatory
videos each week. Our strategy for continued growth is to empower our intellectually-curious community to
spider the web for great, juicy, sharable how-to videos....because we firmly believe computers alone cannot
shoulder the task of providing superior results. Beyond being the most comprehensive resource, we take
pride in offering an arsenal of rich editorial choice with the simple goal of inspiring Wonderment. Read
our blog. Sign up for our weekly email, the Wonder Weekly. Watch the Clip of the Day as we showcase celebrity
how-to's, in depth member profiles, user testimonials, and even how-to exposés, (uncovering the alarming new
genre of Faux-To's on the web). Let our guest curators and their signature Wonderlists guide you through
the gripping, long tail world of how-to.
