Ziipa :

Ziipa is a visual web 2.0 search engine, as they describe themselves. About2findout.com was recently added to ziipa. Check it out here.

Another cool learning related site that is currently features there is Mindbites. Mindbites is based around instructional video's to show people how to do about anything. The aim of the site is to let authors make money on their video's by having viewers pay small amounts of money. But I'm lazy today, so here is their own description:

MindBites is an online video site where regular people can go to share the knowledge they have in virtually any field. For a small fee, users can download or stream any of the posted instructional videos to learn something new. MindBites enables individuals and video producers by giving them a platform to publish, mass-distribute and make money off of what they know for themselves or for charity. MindBites’ unique, pay-for-content business model facilitates the transfer of knowledge in a video format between authors of instructional videos and interested users. Much free content exists on the site, but most of it aims to help potential authors with every conceivable part of the MindBite lesson creation process (content, structure, lighting, equipment, editing, etc). Content uploaded by authors is available to users for $1.65-$1.99 per video. The author receives $1 for each video download. Users interested in purchasing a video on the site are able to see ratings, read reviews, and watch a preview before they commit to purchasing the video. Once purchased, the video is available forever and can be watched over and over and over.
