Dabble

From the site:

"Dabble's mission is to help you find and collect videos from all over the web, no matter where they are hosted.

What does this mean? Videos get put on the web in lots of different ways: uploaded from people's home computers, mobile phones, and digital cameras, as well as professionally produced and posted by the company that made them (or others who enjoy them).

With all of these different sources for online video, we knew people would need one place where they could collect videos from all over the web. Dabble gathers video data from hundreds of hosting sites, as well as from tens of thousands of other websites. Dabble keeps a record of where web videos are located, descriptions about the video, who made it, what it's about, how popular it is, and so on.

This record, called "metadata", makes it easy to search and find video. The community of Dabble members adds details and notes, correcting mistakes, and sharing what is valuable to them about the media, enhancing the metadata in a massive team effort that goes far beyond what any one site can do alone."
