  The Top New Videos list is always full of interesting, current videos. It is always recommended that you have a look through the Top New Videos, but also have a look at these:
  - Upcoming Unsifted Videos - active video submissions that neither are published to the front page nor archived to the submitter's personal queue
- Have you seen a really funny, surprising, scary, interesting, cute or in any other way extra good quality video?
  Post and share it here - VideoSift is the best video aggregator on the Web, where we share, discuss, promote, and interact with the best videos out there on the web. Post it here, and share it with the large community of video-interested users. And - you are guaranteed to find more very good videos here already!
  Mind you, we only share videos you discover that someone else has made; if you "self link," by posting a video you have made, have posted or have interests in, you risk the ban hammer - read the posting guidelines before posting. The sift is NOT for promoting your own videos - it is for sharing videos others have made.

Hope this time it gets to the front.

i figure its all about timing. some of these kramer clips would never make it to the front page if it weren't for the context. right now #6 is a TED talk thanks to farhad, this one should do better this time around.

the graph was awesome!

definitely. thats what this guy is all about, taking raw information and making it publicly accessible. i think its pretty damn important, the work that he's doing.

Great stuff. and it's wonderful to see that the numbers actually indicate an obvious and growing improvement for all the world. Let's hope it keeps up. Up vote for sure.

quality post. feel like i 've been at a really good lecture. complex issue made simple by an enthusiastic and engaging teacher with a special box of tricks. more, more...

ingenious visualisation.

This video gives me hope for the future of mankind...Upvote

Woot! Hans Rosling was my boss when I did web design work for his division at Karolinska. He's extremely charming and passionate about his work. The world needs more people like him in high places ;-)

hate to say it, but it's a dupe
