Megite and Tailrank make it easier to find popular videos

Tailrank
Ever spend hours looking through YouTube videos only to find out that there's a famous clip of Mentos and Coke being played on CNN that you missed? Well, I don't know if that's the problem these new sites are set to fix, but there's a new crop of services designed to help you find popular videos.

Megite and Tailrank are sites that track popular news stories based on how they are linked to in other blogs. This week both sites added video tracking, which determines how popular online videos are based on how often they are linked to or embedded in other sites.

NewTeeVee writes that Megite has a prerelease version of their video tracking service, while Tailrank 2.1 with a "Video Memetracker" was released on Tuesday.
