OK, so Dan uses the Morris method for edges. But why, then, does he have his own video on his edges method? He could just say he uses the bigcubes.com method, right?

Well some people don't know it so why should he not make a tutorial on it? And tons of other people use the method and have made tutorials on it, but they have not made the method. And some people prefer a video to text...jeez, don't diss Frank Morris, or I WILL have to slap you.

I'm not dissing Frank Morris, I'm making Dan look better. Frank already has a video tutorial on bigcubes.com, as well as text.

Ring a bell? That sounds like a diss to me
P.S. - I'm not gonna argue about this anymore since it will become pointless

Yes I was being sarcastic. Dan does in fact use the bigcubes.com method; as far as I'm aware that is where he learnt to solve the 5x5 (I'm kinda guessing). I guess he does do it "his own way" but it is only an "advanced" version of the same method.
Anyway, about myself, I use the bigcubes.com method too, however I did not learn from the site, in fact I didn't know the site existed until at least half a year after I learnt to solve the 5x5, by which time I had developed the method considerably into my own style.
On this point, I think that intuitively, there are only two ways to solve the edges: bigcubes.com or AvG, in some way or other. Whether you figure it out for yourself or from the source doesn't seem to matter to people. I still get tagged as a "bigcubes.com method using person" even though bigcubes.com had nothing to do with my using the method. Oh well...

Summary:
BigCubes: "Invented" by Frank Morris, used by Dan Cohen. Create 8 triplets and finish the last 4 triplets with algs. Variations are that during the 8 triplets you do or don't restore the centers and that you might use AVG for the last 4 tripplets to reduce the number of algs
AVG: "Invented" by Arnaud van Galen, used by Erik Akkersdijk. Pair a wing with a center 12 * 2 times (or 11 * 2 times when you have parity) from a fixed buffer. Variations are that you don't use a fixed buffer or that you setup for a "dW2 replace dW2'" sometimes
Bigcubes.com is obviously the way to learn the bigcubes.com method
AVG can be learned from the how-to's on this forum:

What I use is absolutely nothing like 2 at a time....
If you actually watched my "edge pairing video," I say that what I use is basically the bigcubes.com method. I've just tailored it a little towards my style.

I use sort of AVG, just a lot more freestyle, and with not E slice, but M slice pairing. avg is around 1:30 with a good cube (which I don't have right now :S current white core is very tight)
