Never get Rick-Rolled again! Nov 10, 20083:58 CST

The most annoying thing about online video is that you don’t always get what you want. Too often, you’re led astray by misleading thumbnails and mischievous Rick-Rollers.

To help with this problem, we use advanced algorithms to intelligently identify the most interesting scenes in each video and we use that information to create a nice visual summary that shows you what a video is all about with just a glance.

If you’re using VideoSurf to search for and browse videos, then you’re already being presented with these visual summaries. But, what if you’re elsewhere on the internet and stumble upon a link to a video? How are you going to be able to tell if it’s really what you want?

We’ve created a Greasemonkey script that will look for videos on Google, Yahoo and Youtube search results pages and will insert our unique visual summaries into the page to give you some more information to work with.

It takes about 10 seconds to install the script. Once you have it, everything else is automatic.

To install the script:
