Last week, video ad distribution company Sharethrough launched a new portal for branded videos. Called Sharethrough.tv, the new site aims to be the largest such destination on the Web.

Sharethrough.tv allows anyone to else search for specific ads, brands or ad producers -- as well as the ads that are most popular or most talked about that have been produced over the last several years -- in a variety of categories.
