Explain more how Scrape Up works.

1. it presents the existing feeds that some of the reddit
Fark
Digg
GameTrailers
College Humor
LiveLeak
sites provide in a easy to read webpage.

Those sites provide a protocol for webpage authors like dag to incorporate into new webpages. The protocol consists of new videos.

2. It automates the first step for the submission of new videos to videosift.

So when does VS start selling shares on the stock market ?

Our slow takeover of the world begins...

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

Yay!

Hey dag (or lucky) I was checking the varocms page, and I have an idea. When you do a command to a sift on VS here, you do * whatever. But, you can upvote with a single click. Wouldn't it be easier to make this

Possible *Invocations • more info
discard • sticky • unsticky • promote • quality • nochannel

list of commands here into links, in which it would send a message to ol' siftbot here, and he could reply with "user did this comment, this happened" without us sifties having to actually post a comment when half the time all we are doing is just sending siftbot a command? I think it'd be easier, in my opinion. What do you guys think?

You feel that grime? That's corporate, it doesn't wash off.

It's definitely not a bad idea, but working invocations into comments is part of the charm and fun of it. Making it a mechanical operation takes away it's uniqueness and makes it... well, more mechanical.

Is it a better idea to go to a video, like it, see there are 10 comments in there? Go "Oh boy discussion" only to find it's 4 beg commands, 4 siftbot retorts, and one actual post?

I would love to see multiple *begs rolled into one once the video is finally sifted, like "begged for x times" or some such.

I don't feel the same way myself. We can agree to disagree.
