Videosurf – A Video Search Engine For Multiple Video Sites

via MakeUseOf:

"It is almost 2010 and the tubes that we call the internet are constantly evolving and giving us new features. A couple of years back, video on the internet was new and exciting and as the services progressed, videos became a common thing on the net. Sites like YouTube paved the way for the video revolution.

Nowadays there are so many video sources on the internet it can be hard to find exactly what you are looking for. Today I was browsing the MakeUseOf Directory and found this gem – Videosurf.

VideoSurf is a video search engine that allows you to not only search videos visually but it also allows you to search multiple sites all at once! Those sites include YouTube, MetaCafe, Comedy Central, Yahoo Music, ESPN, Hulu and many others. So if you are looking for full TV episodes, a funny video, or even a music video this is the place to search. Let’s see how it works.

Browse on over to VideoSurf and you will see a search bar, as well as people in the spotlight (famous people that have videos about them) and 3 more sections at the bottom. The sections are Viral videos, TV Full episodes and celebrity videos. So if the Pirate Bay downfall got you wondering where you can find TV shows or movies this might be a good alternative.

Go ahead and type something in the search bar and hit Search Videos. Don’t worry we won’t judge you because you searched for Hannah Montana or The Backyardigans (Who are we kidding hell yeah we will make fun of you!!)

They have old and new listings and a total of 29,393 videos which is a lot! If you are looking for that old school music video this might be the perfect place to find it. Go ahead and sit back, relax and watch them at your leisure or sort the video search engine’s results by relevance, popularity, age, length (short or long) as well as season and episode (for tv shows)

They sort by popularity first so you will see the videos with the most downloads first. Once you are done checking out your favorite rapper you can head back to the homepage to see some of the viral videos. I usually like this stuff and I could use a good laugh (I am on 37 minutes sleep today how’s that for funny?)

Ok so Acne isn’t funny and I am not the biggest sports fan so I choose the Best Science Teacher Ever video and clicked through. The original video was located here so they have lots of little sites crawled as well. When I went to play the video I saw this:

You can see they broke the video down into 12 clips so you can jump around. This works well on YouTube and Hulu but not on this video. Still this is an awesome feature and I can see this company getting scooped up by YouTube or someone else."
