Thanks for the quality, grspec, but really it should go to ALL of us...I've been playing with chime.tv today and really they don't have near the community appeal that we do.

So yeah, I love that search/autoplay feature, but it's not the Sift. We rock.

It would be very cool to be able to sit back and just watch all the videos in a collective, consecutively - auto-played.

Maybe we need a special Sift Project to develop something like this. Is it better as a standalone player a-la Joost, or an ajaxy web app like Chime.TV?

I think we'd still want to be able to vote and see if it had comments. Maybe launch an external window?

you could take something like chime, then integrate the sift into it by having the vote option available when your watching a video, then maybe a preview of the comments. I like the layout of chime becuase it reduces the clutter of having all these little video windows, at the same time that little screen shot can be what gets me to watch a video, or in the case of my 7 rockets +1 ass video, the thing that gets a instant downvote.

I do see some cool aspects of the chime inteface and it would be cool to have an option to use this as a default view.
