The Daily Tube wants to be your one-stop web video shop
Conde Nast Portfolio editor Michael Caruso founded the site with a staff of about 25 people who scour the web looking for the best online videos. The idea is pretty simple: there's a lot of crap out there on sites like YouTube, MetaCafe, and Revver. Caruso and his team will find just the good videos and feature them on your site.
Of course, there's a fundamental flaw in that logic. There's no accounting for taste. What they call the best, you may call the worst, and if you have a penchant for videos of teenagers talking smack about one another, you probably won't be interested in The Daily Tube. Yeah, we know, that's a pretty weak criticism.
The Daily Tube also offers a daily email with the best of the best, so you don't even have to visit the site to keep up on the latest dramatic prairie dog and waterskiing squirrel videos.

So, just how good at time waster games are you? Think you've got the stuff? Well, The World's Hardest Game 2.0 doesn't think you do.

I have checked it. I did a couple of searches and I am afraid it does not cut the mustard. It is too US-biased and appear to omit one or two topical clips in the last 2 weeks.

In regards to my previous comment, I was concerned that perhaps the problem was with my desktop being that I wasn't able to view a single video offering presented at The Daily Tube.
I've finally did manage to view some obscure video
this morning leaving me to conclude that the Daily
Tube is not-ready-for-prime-time and might just go down the tube(s)if they don't get act their together, soon.

I think it was your desktop. I've been using this site for a week and have had no problem. Selection is good and they e-mail me videos in the categories I'm interested in, which is mighty handy.
