Channel Refining?

So based on this post

I was wondering if we should refine 'geek' to:

- tech

- science

- info

- space (?)

and we should really have

- nature

...been thinkin' the same,..as I try to brainstorm a suitable revision, all those sub-group suggestions sound great....perhaps a user-friendly grid like on groper, where the categories swell as you cursor over...could get stoopid, though, ....cute, pretty, sweet, that would piss me off, cutes' bad enough....

I worry about too much granularity in channels, and overlapping. Perhaps I worry too much.

Wow: I'm pleased my [heavily sarcastic] comment instigated some thought in people (other than what the hell is the bullshit bible quote all about? Nicky P knows what I mean!)

But back to the point: channles are a difficult thing...very subject to the users opinions. I've been a bit casual (or provocative of a Farhad Flame War) with tags - mainly to see where they can be pushed. Generally, I think the Sift needs more overall channels (such as art / action) more than sub-groups being developed.

are channels really that big of a deal guys? personally, i don't even use them. i sift through every video and channels are nary a concern.

i also think your provocation of farhad is extremely sophomoric, benjee. it would be nice to see you leaving off the acerbic comments from some of your posts.

remember ... sometimes less is more!

I don't use the channels yet either. Well, they *were* implemented during my "dark" month, when I didn't have access. I just came back to all this fancy stuff. I enjoy just sifting through everything!

I'm a woman of simple needs tho :-P

I don't really use channels either - other than when marking my own posts, so I don't think they need any more work (but would prefer general updates if it was, rather than more specific ones).

Sorry LadyBug - but it's my sarcastic & facetious sense of humour responsible for the 'acidic tone' to my text. Sifting when slightly drunk also has a factor in it - but I type to entertain myself more than others. Me and Farhad have a bit of banter between us (see either of our comments over the last month) - it's not serious at all, so I hope no-one takes offence.
