Please clarify 2 circ, knitting

Can anyone help me to understand in which direction to knit when working in the round with 2 circular needles? This is what has me stumped.

In this video, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RybPvCNfrT8 ,

she starts knitting counter-clockwise. She knits into the last cast-on stitch and knits around to the first cast-on stitch.

Yet on this site, http://www.az.com/~andrade/knit/twocirculars.html ,

the knitting goes clockwise. She takes the working yarn, pulls it across the gap to start knitting on the other needle. She knits into the first of the cast-on stitches and knits around to finish on the last cast-on stitches.

I've followed both set of directions and both work. I've managed to get through a few projects using one method or the other. My brain just can't find the rhyme or reason.

I'm hoping one of you can help me figure this out. I'd be much happier if there was one standard rule of how to. Right now I'm just puzzled.
