Congrats, you Slovenian doper.

Dag: I think he's the Klingon. Think about it for a second.

Hi krupo!

Trippy and *happy. *promote it!

It might help with quality, or it might not. I think if VS users start looking for videos at Scrape Up to post, it will make this place more like the other aggregators because it will tend to homogenize all the aggregator sites. I think it's bad enough as it is when certain sifters treat their queues as RSS feeds from Digg

Think about it: If the people at I-Am-Bored and Milk And Cookies start going to Scrape Up to upload videos we've already sifted here, and then we have people here grabbing videos from those sites via Scrape Up, and then the Diggers and Stumblers start marking a lot of the videos at Scrape Up, then the content will start to become more uniform at all those sites, including ours. And to me, brothers and sisters, that would make this place boring.

Now one could argue that even without Scrape Up there's a lot of 'cross-pollination' going on already, and I wouldn't disagree with that. I've already seen a number of our popular videos suddenly get front-paged at I-Am-Bored and College Humor, for example. However I see Scrape Up significantly accelerating that process, especially as it grows in popularity.

Now I am not TOO concerned, because this place has enough members who've found their own little niche in which they post videos that are well outside the mainstream. However, even if a few of those obscure videos start getting picked up by the other sites, then I think VS might lose the biggest edge it has always had: Its IMMENSE variety. How many other sites have Dr. Who getting Rick-rolled, Stephen Colbert, Manila's City of Garbage, the history of the string bikini, and beautiful Slovenian caves, all on the front page at the same time? But if even one or two of those got front-paged at other sites because they conveniently found them at Scrape Up, then I think it decreases our competitive edge.

Of course everything I just wrote could be the ether talking and not me.

Fess up, dag: Are you attempting to out-Digg Digg Video?

I don't have excuses, I just don't have a life so I come here more often than is good for any human being. My first experience here was of bannination for self-linking, so I guess you don't have an excuse either. You knew I was a bastard and you reinstated my account anyway so now you're stuck with me and my Slovenian folk music posts and pop philosophy. Serves you right!

mmm. Slovenian Cheese is delicious!

>> ^kronosposeidon:
Do my ears detect more than a hint of Roma influence in that, or is this strictly Slovenian style?

no, you're quite right about the Roma music influence in their music

To whomever may watch this: Stick with it until you get past the (IMHO, excessively) long intro. You're in for a treat.

Question: Do my ears detect more than a hint of Roma influence in that, or is this strictly Slovenian style?

Ah.
