Finding your way around in the chaos that is online video can be a cumbersome task. A new breed of video aggregators is emerging, and they’re trying to help you organize all the bits and pieces from various video sites into something a bit more coherent. We’ve tried out a video aggregator with quite a different approach to see what they’ve got to offer.

This is a completely new, and original, service, which takes a human-powered approach to video aggregation. In other words, there’s a team of human editors there who choose the best videos that the web has to offer and present them to you in a neatly categorized list. The site is divided into three subsections: Daily Scour funny aggregates the best videos from the web that day, while Daily Scour meme is an original program in which the editors present the latest internet memes (cue the Rick Roll!), presenting a portmanteau of interesting videos in various categories. Finally, if you register on the site, you get the ability to mark videos as favorites, share them, add comments, and vote for the best videos.

With solid design, a huge selection of videos and very few ads, Daily Scour leaves the impression of an ambitious, quality product. It’s not the be all and end all of online video since it only shows a small selection of what’s out there, but that’s the point: replace the chaos with a smaller chunk of quality stuff.

One of the important concepts at Daily Scour is video e-mail; if you’re the type of user who likes to receive stuff by e-mail, you’ll love the option to get a daily e-mail with a selection of great videos.
