Middio.com - The Music Video Search Engine

Youtube is the juggernaut of internet videos, hands down; however, that doesn´t mean it´s always easy to find exactly what you´re looking for. Middio has come up with a solution; it lets you find music videos and play them directly from their site without ads. The videos themselves are still stored on Youtube, but Middio tags and sorts the most popular videos, so that they´re easier to find. The top one hundred videos are listed on the homepage; you can also choose to watch videos at random, but the selection might not be to your tastes. The search engine is easy to use, and there aren´t many extras to it, but it does make finding the music videos you want a little more convenient.

“Launched in mid-2007, Middio makes an effort of properly tagging the most popular music videos uploaded by members to YouTube.com. Although the music videos are hosted by YouTube.com, they can be searched for and watched on Middio without ads. Middio only organizes videos already sitting on the social video website YouTube.com. We do not host music videos on Middio servers nor do we upload videos to YouTube.com. All videos indexed are only uploaded by the recording studio authorized to do so. ”

This is a simple search engine that pulls results from the already popular YouTube; it´s nice, if somewhat limited enhancements.

The results don´t seem to tally up with what you´d actually find on YouTube; there are also pretty imprecise; some searches seem to pull up everything but the thing you´re looking for. Definitely needs some work.
