Dabble Indexed Over 10 Million Web Videos
Dabble.com announced it has indexed more than 10 million videos since launching just eight months ago. Dabble has struck data partnerships video hosts of all sizes, providing access to the Web’s available inventory of rich media resources. Dabble’s index collects and keeps a record of where videos are located, descriptions about the video, its creators, what the video is about and its popularity. Users collect and arrange media into play lists which they can organize and share according to specific interests.
“Dabble’s index of over 10 million videos (now growing at 2.5 million NEW videos a month) means users only have to visit one destination to search for video and other rich media. Dabble doesn’t directly host any media; the search engine keeps track of the bookmarks, or links, to wherever the media is stored on the web along with all the rest of the essential details about the media. Dabble users add to this details and notes, correct mistakes and share what’s valuable to them about the media.”
