Video aggregation…

Take video, the hottest thing on the web right now, and layer it with aggregation, which is a far better business than any single video source can ever be, and you get Dabble – a new meta-search engine for video…

I have some concerns about Dabble. I was so excited to see the release come out after using the closed beta, but a lot of the things I felt were missing from the beta are still missing.

The bookmarklet is great, but they don’t provide key elements that are easily scraped. Tags: missing, cc license…missing?

I tried to add a media element from my own video blog and the tags field and the license info wasn’t populated. I viewed the source of my page and with a text editor search found the tags and cc license.

These are key pieces of meta data in my mind. I can’t wait to see how they grow, I do want to see them do well. Just my two cents.

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.

Please checkout http://www.ulinkx.com/

Good to see dabble comes out with competing service.

Thanks,

Martin, since you ask: we announced DabbleDB in October 2005 (http://smalltho.../blog/?m=200510). At the time, Mary Hodder’s video startup was called Bloqx (see, for example, http://www.blog...n2005/speakers/). I believe they bought the dabble.com domain in December or January.

When I tried pulling letters out of the Scrabble bag, I got 6 e’s: I guess that’s all that was left after Flickr & co. had their turns…

Like the concept. Not sold on the design.

Before leaving for work this morning I read this blog and clicked over to dabble to give it a quick glance.

I was 30 minutes late to work. Damn you techcrunch for covering insanely interesting and time wasting sites!

Great work, Dabble. I just hope you pick up some music videos that are not just hip-hop!

For those of you as confused as I was, Dabble != DabbleDB.

You know better than the rest of us, Michael, which came first and which was too lazy to pull six random letters out of Scrabble bag?

I agree video services are spreading like fire, but most of them are still looking for a solid revenue generation model.

The number of available video services is certainly overwhelming, so it will be interesting to see if they succeed in organizing them all. Let’s hope they do!
