Hodder's Dabble Video Directory Service Launches

Posted by: Heather Green on July 24

Dabble, the video search and social networking site started by blogger Mary Hodder, is launching today.

As with many services that offer leaps forward, Dabble is trying to solve a simple, but hard problem: How do you sift through the millions of videos being created, but uploaded on the scores of different video sites. Dabble lets you sift through video sites including YouTube, MySpace, Revver, Blip.TV, Grouper, Brightcove, VideoEgg, and Vimeo

In a press release Hodder explains it best: “Besides information about the video itself like the title or where it’s hosted, we have information about who made it, who’s in it, tags from outside Dabble as well as our users, and who’s watching and collecting it into playlists. Dabble exposes the value of media. We’re like a new kind of guide for the new TV: web video.”

We have lauched similar kind of service (uLinkx) back in May. Besides providing user to collect videos from Google, YouTube, Yahoo etc., We also provide them functionality to collect online music. Currently, we support only few video site for automatic bookmarking (Of course you can add manual bookmark for any site), but soon we plan to add few more popular sites.

Good to see dabble comes out with competing service.

Thanks,
