Whilst researching for a training session that I am running next week, I came across this site.
http://www.truetube.co.uk/index.html
From what I can make out, the idea is that the site encourages debate by using video clips as a starter for the discussion. It is trying really hard to be a ‘safe to use’ site, targetting the educational community. For certain subjects, this could be a superb resource.

Hi Dave, just came across your weblog thanks to Google. Thank you for the kind comments about our site. I see you posted this in May. At the beginning of June we launched a new version of the site fel free to take a look and let me know your thoughts.

Hi Dave,
I realise that your post was now quite some time ago but I thought I’d give you an update on our site. We have started a new project, which involves our van visitng youth groups around the country to make films with them about social issues that affect them.
Why not check out the site again http://www.truetube.co.uk or our new blog truetube.worpress.com for more details.
Thanks,
