mesmotv.pngMesmo.tv, another site that wants to help you and your friends discover interesting videos, has raised $900,000.

The San Francisco company, which launched in July, lets you collect videos on its site from around the web. Then you can vote on videos and share videos with friends. This way, the company can figure out what type of videos you like so it can recommend new, related videos to you (our coverage).

It has also developed a successful Facebook application, a trivia game called TV Show Trivia. Launched in August, the application has over 1.3 million total users with around 125,000 users returning daily — making it one of the more popular television-focused applications on Facebook.

While there are many, many online video-sharing sites out there, another one that’s also focusing on social video recommendation is FFWD.com, previously known as Vadver (our coverage). The company began offering a private beta version earlier this week.

Although Mesmo has not closed its round, investors include Felicis Ventures, Maples Investments, The Hit Forge and and angels.
