Tools: Targeted Video Search
Interesting new tool now in beta development: VideoSurf.com. These guys have created a new way to search for video by actually including elements of the video footage in the search algorithm. What does that mean? Unlike YouTube, which searches based on tags and descriptions - and thus, doesn't necessarily reflect what's actually in the video if a poster doesn't include the right info - VideoSurf seems to give more targeted results aggregated from other video sites. Cool.
