Mistreamnet was also interesting with how it tags where the videos came from (what organizations or topics covered). I like how many of them are from conferences that I'm familiar with and have been to.
After going through each of the resources, my favorites for having the most on the topics that I searched for were TeacherTube and SchoolTube. They were very easy to sign up for and search for content. The students thought it was neat how they were almost like home videos that they could make on their own and were real people and students like them learning how to type on the keyboard. The one I ended up using on my class website as a tutorial and for the students to reference for hand placement was http://www.schooltube.com/video/72fea4567c54a813de3c/Basic%20Keyboarding. They liked having the visual of a real pair of hands showing them how to hold their hands/fingers to use the proper technique on the keyboard.

I can see why your students found the video informative. He clearly demonstrates proper hand and finger positions. As well has how to reach for needed keys with the appropriate finger and to return to the "home" keys. Students who struggle getting their hands and fingers in the proper positions can replay the video as often as they need.
