Suggestion: new sift channel
posted by ajaraki 1 year 11 months 1 week ago • 86 views
I was thinking, it might be cool to add a "vintage" (or whatever you want to call it) channel to videosift for videos that were made way back when. There are quite a few videos from the 50's and 60's, such as propaganda films and old comercials. I really like watching the old content on this site. Of course, to make this channel you'd have to figure out what counts as old

Before the invention of the internet?
70's and older?

I'm not sure where the line would be drawn.

That's a pretty good idea. We've had a few channel requests - I think cction and nature seem to be the biggies at the moment.

I'd like to get some feedback on how people are using the channels. I have to admit that I'm only an occasional channel visitor.

Is there anyone who spends a lot of time viewing channels?

Honestly I find the channel system more useful for describing what the video will be more then anything else, however on occasion I do channel music only and watch some old clips.

Science channel. I want a science channel.

Isn't that what the ubiquitous Geek is for?

I agree with Farhads opening statement: I use it much more for seeing what a vids like/labelling my own, than actually looking through the channels (although I do occassionally).

Super Mario is geek but it's not science...

I never use geek for science sifts, I'm a scientist Benjee but not a geek

One more thing.

Can we have a button that hides all the videos the user voted for in the queue already?

I just notice I miss so many good sifts because I can't be bothered to scroll all 18 pages to find something cool I might have missed as the sift keeps getting filled.

That's a good idea Farhad. I also had the idea that it would be nice to have a top 15 sidebar list, just for the queue.

In terms of date tagging, what about tag convention of 50s,60s,70s...etc. That's a bit more specific than vintage/retro. Guess Marilyn singing to JFK would be 60's.

I agree with fahrad's suggestion. Also another idea which has come up in another content, is the idea of a "no vote". NoVote registers "yup, I've seen this, I have no opinion and don't want to see it again". You don't always come away from viewing a vid with an up/down vote- except maybe for ant

"no vote", if implemented good, may be nice. if.

i would also add a channel "commercial"
