YouTube and Veoh are fun, and the newly redesigned MSN video site looks good. But Slate V tops 'em all.
Launched in June, Slate V videos are produced in Flash by Slate itself; there are no user-posted videos -- yet. The channel called Conventional Wisdom, for example, offers clips taken at trade shows for morticians, or for kitchen workers who serve food to prisoners. Hilarious. There are nine Slate V video channels in all. Animation shows up in the site's Dear Abby-type advice column, and it works well.
Slate V is the video site for what my 17-year-old son would call the "Volvo Starbucks" crowd. Those are my peeps, I guess, which is why I'll visit Slate V frequently.
Here's a Chicago Tribune review of Slate V. More meaningful, perhaps, is this feedback from Slate readers/viewers themselves.
