Obligatory XKCD reference

especially important is the alt text

I had a hard time with Ayn Rand because I found myself enthusiastically agreeing with the first 90% of every sentence, but getting lost at 'therefore, be a huge asshole to everyone.'

I'm sympathetic but surely a seasoned web-user would know to hover over strange things in the hope that some alt text might assist?

That said I think you have a point. Someone else once wrote eloquently and at some length about how the site should really be optimised to stress the ability to submit videos, i.e the engine that drives the site.

Personally I think the menus could do with a serious revamp to also focus on the videos and make it easier to find cool stuff. The site's been less sticky for me of late because I wish these things were there.

I've settled for letting videos find me via twitter/reddit yet when I return here there's always cool stuff I haven't seen. So there is hope!

I have faith (gasp!) in Peter Jackson to not fuck it up.

Alt text: "If I'm such a god, why isn't Maru *my* cat?"

I think the "posted by [user] ..." looks weird under the line in listings - it looks like it's attached to the video below it, instead of above it.

Also, I assume that the stumble upon link is supposed to be an icon, but in blog posts like
http://blog.videosift.com/swampgirl/Three-Years-and-one-month
it's written as such:
"comments (3)|bookmark (0)|stumbleupon Stumble This"

Is the stumbleupon ALT text and the icon missing?

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

Good point Winkler, I would prefer Discarded too. the alt text provides a bit more detail on hovering.
