PQUEUED Monday!
You know how there are a bunch of good videos locked up in pqueues? Why don't we have a day dedicated to highlighting these great videos? Someone starts a Sift talk every Monday and lists a video they found and invites others to join in.
Here's a stunning live music video I just finished watching;

[edit] Another thought, we should make it a themed post, not necessarily related to a specific channel. The idea being to make it topical if possible and to find an interesting selection of related videos from the mass of unsifted content. This would avoid everyone piling in to get what might amount to "free" promotes.

Sounds like a good idea. I discovered this one by accident and it's really good: http://www.videosift.com/video/Common-The-6th-Sense
No idea who submitted it, but he must have great taste in music.
^I'd suggest we not link to our own PQs
*quality idea! so many great under appreciated videos hiding in all those pqueues
pqueued reggae, great for a slow, hot summer day like this (30* celcius here):

I quite like the marvelous simplicity of it. Maybe a promote during primetime will get it some attention ...
so are we going to have a theme?

I would think so. Up to whomever starts the post but it should only be the one post.
Got any ideas? The sift is your oyster!
Ahhhhhh, it's nice in here. What a lovely thread to be in after coming from all that bullshit in Jigga's post (no offence intended).
I think this is the most practical and community oriented way of getting past the shameful pqueue issue we've got. Nice going Deano, you rock. Lets get this going somehow shall we?
Every Monday? I'm in!
Hey, thanks for the help with that vid - definitely deserved to be sifted. I had a playlist called 'Why Weren't They Sifted?' but deleted it accidentally. There are a few others like it, they'd be a good resource.
