When I hear the word magma, I think of Dr. Evil, that great Austin Powers movie character who was always holding his pinky finger in the corner of his mouth. After visiting the new site Mag.ma I have a completely new appreciation for the word. The newest and coolest video portal for online video, you’ll find representation from all your favorite video sites, to include YouTube, Hulu, Digg, Twitter, and a whole slew of others. You’d think that much information in one location would be utter chaos, but you’d better think again. Mag.ma has done an impressive job of organizing the site so that it is not overwhelming to the user, and the layout is fluid to the point that it’s easy to spend a lot of time clicking and enjoying.

Brought to you by Rocketboom founder Andrew Baron, this site presents its users with no less than 100 video thumbnails on its front page alone! Up top you’ll find 10 “Must Watch” videos. As you move down the page, you’ll find shared videos organized by original posting site, selections from active users, a viral video chart, and even favorites of the Mag.ma staff.

The website is big on tracking the number of hits a particular video receives and you can watch the ticker for each video click as more and more users watch it. In addition, if you find you are unsure of what you want to watch, you can check out some of the other member recommendations. Bottom line…next time you’re looking for a video clip to show that colleague at work, or if you’re simply looking for a fun way to kill some time, consider heading over to Mag.ma. My guess is if you can’t find it there, you can’t find it on the web.
