What Company Is Offering:
Dabble’s is to help you find and collect videos from all over the web, no matter where they are hosted.

How It Works:
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).

All of this video has to be “hosted” (stored and served from) somewhere online. Along with all the websites that just feature a clip or two, hundreds of video hosting sites now exist to store and serve these videos to you.

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.

You don’t need to join Dabble to find videos using our search service, but once you have a membership in Dabble, you can start collecting and organizing your favorite videos. Wherever you travel on the web, you can quickly and easily import links to the videos you discover into your own personal Dabble collection. You can also add your own comments and “tags” (keywords) to share with our member community, and you can organize videos into playlists, like all the web videos about a favorite person or topic.

Because all the other Dabble members are organizing videos too, chances are you can find existing playlists in the Dabble community about whatever you’re interested in, and find new videos that way. People also use Dabble to collect and organize other sorts of media, like audio and photographs. Dabble doesn’t directly host any media.
