My trouble with new social (video) media, no skimming

I love the social media /new media revolution brought about by Web 2.0. I love all the sharing, creating, empowering, filtering, and most of all I love reading blogs. I read mostly mobile and tech blogs, but I'm starting to get into the customer evangelist, marketing type blogs. There are actually customer evangelist blogs. They call it the long tail for a reason, because it reaches the micro niches and minute interests of almost everyone including me. And if you can't find what you are looking for, create it. It's as simple as that, you become the niche, amazing.

Now that I'm out of buzz words, wait, mobile penetration. Now that I'm out of buzzwords, let me share with you a problem I have. Beyond that I can't keep up with my feeds, the trouble I'm having now is with video. Three minutes of my life is quite a commitment for me and, beyond a headline, you really don't get the sense of what a video is all about until you start watching it. With blogs, I can skim to my hearts content, but not so with video. I want to watch all of these videos that could be interesting, but who has the time? The only videos I do watch now come highly recommended. What I need is a video skimming app, or maybe feature of video sites, that labels the good parts. It could have digg style voting on the money shot. We'll call it social editing maybe? Let it be known that I just coined that term.

I did I search for video skimming and came up with mostly research type stuff. I know there is video tagging right now, but it's really for inane comments at this point. What I really want is the climax, the clutch one liner and none of the preamble. Somebody, please build this for me.
