Get Quick Answers to Office Quandaries

YouTube has its uses -- wasting time watching dogs skateboard, embarrassing public figures, and, as of last night, generating actually entertaining questions for a Democratic debate. But if you are a business professional in search of useful answers to office quandaries, a new site, Videojug.com, has popped up to fill this gap. The site offers how-to and "ask the expert" videos on everything from motivating your employees to a step-by-step guide to "deskercize."Barbara Krasnoff reviews Videojug.com on InformationWeek.com and finds it fairly useful for those in need of a quick answer to many of life's small questions. "The videos are professionally produced--and, in the case of the most serious informational series, feature professionals in their fields," she writes.Even better for a time-pressed manager: "Videos are accompanied by indices, so you can go directly to the question you have rather than having to wade through the entire production."

For videos relevant to managers, check out the site's Office Life section, under Jobs & Careers. Continue to beware the time-sucking possibilities of such sites, but for those with a specific query and a little self-discipline, Videojug might be just the thing, allowing you to learn something even while slacking off.
