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

I hear what you're saying, but I still think the cross-over would be too great. 90% of the tech posts would also be geek posts. That means we're taking up 2 channels where 1 would have done. With growing channel proliferation, we want to conserve those 7 allotted channel spots to be as distinct as possible.

Choggie, you must live in Maine, because it's exactly how you described it.
Than you all for the wonderful comments, and Dag, about the channel thing:
I argue that the crossover is MUCH less than people have made it to be.

For example, I cite these videos:
http://www.videosift.com/video/Solar-Air-Conditioning
http://www.videosift.com/video/The-Antikythera-mechanism
http://www.videosift.com/video/The-Aquaduct-pedal-powered-water-filtering-vehicle
http://www.videosift.com/video/Computerized-model-of-how-a-Gatling-gun-works
http://www.videosift.com/video/Get-tasered-from-100-feet-away

Things like that get slapped with "geek" even though it really is more of a plain "tech" thing.


I think Rembar (where the hell IS that guy?) summed it up nicely in this channel.
