It seems that the ajax isn't posting the comments as you make it anymore. Happened to me a couple of times now, when hitting "submit new comment" the text in, well, this box I'm writing in is just erased. I have to hit f5 to see the comment I just made - I imagine it can lead to lots of double post, so wanted to give you a heads up.

Have you been enjoying some R&R after the big move?

AJAX FAIL.

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

Not sure what is happening there. You might want to try a hard refresh, once you are logged in (ctrl+f5)

Weird - can it be my profile doesn't provide me with javiness? I just accessed VS without logging in and it had all the javiness. Right now, under my own profile I can't turn off the lights either. Weirdness - the same applies for when I access VS at work.

Hey Doogle- as far as I know Chrome should be all Ajaxed up. Do you have javascript turned on? You're not using the super-duper beta Mac version?

Hi Dag - I haven't seen it in the sift posts, thought I'd ask you directly -
is AJAX off on the site or something? My Chrome browser keeps having to reload when I click on a video or vote on them.

Thanks

Logo, icons, day/night, better ajax, menus (although getting away from a channel can be a bit of a hassle).

I'm not sure what I think of the blue border around the page though, but other than that little thing, the UI is generally improved. Good on ya, cdm.

This movie disappointed me. I was at least hoping they'd have included my favorite scene from the Iliad--Ajax crushing Hector with a huge fucking rock.

But alas, they cut it out, and Ajax became significantly less awesome.

Rather than a second account, it would probably be better to use the API - though I'm not sure what methods are provided.

Dag, that's cool and the Page Density part would be good for finding hot videos.
Is it possible to setup a second Chartbeat acct and the javascript key for
http://www.videosift.com/
http://www.videosift.com/?pg=2
http://www.videosift.com/?pg=3
http://videosift.com/top
http:// .videosift.com/?pg=2
etc.
Those pages would be one Chartbeat key and all the other videos would be another key, so the page density map could be a visual list of hot videos.
I also wonder if the Expand video twistie that uses AJAX to open the video embed on the same page could also add some javascript for Chartbeat so even those videos / clicks would be tracked. (ie. on one page http://www.videosift.com/?pg=2 I could watch eight videos but it appears that I am idle the whole time, even though I am expanding videos)

Ok, obviously charging for submissions or comments is bad idea. Some type of power point things might work (put up a paypal and have some cheap exchange rate).

You really should also look at all those awful facebook type games and other webpage games that you get bonuses by doing things like registering at some coupon page or those silly things, they must make referral money.

I really think the sift needs more ads mixed in as videos (at least for non-logged in users). I think you should have a donation link up there one week a month.

The problem is always getting past the dead zone of a $30/month level of traffic and when you have enough to make a profit. I don't think digg and other stuff will work, more traffic makes the problem worse. Is it more the dedicated server expenses or the traffic or is it 50/50?

I think you should turn of the filters and some features if it saves a lot on CPUs (not that down sizing is a good idea, but more efficient??) Or even a IP based bandwidth quota that probably would only effect a few people, and just a static page that says come back in 4 hours..

Every 10th video you click on the expand twistie and you get ajax ad frame instead with a SKIP>> thing. It's not that annoying and people can be charter if they care. I've always thought charter was too pricey.. I just don't know the sweet spot.

Anyways, I think the internet ad $$$ is going to get worse (but then again Amazon is the only ones making money). So I thinking it's like US dependence upon oil.


Do you think doubling the traffic will help? Doubling the ad clicks? Or just reducing costs and living off of donations and charter.

I think you should go look at the early fark model or g00ns forums and how they got over the 'hump'. (But that was in good economic times).

The button is hidden sometimes until you paste your code, and if the ajax for some reason jacks off it can get stuck.
I will do the Blizzard thing and say Working as intended


Interesting and thanks!
