Suggestion: Tag Cloud!
Can the Sift get a Tag Cloud?
(i.e.: )
Not sure where it could go (I'm sure the more impolite of you have some ideas to mention in your comments where I could put it), but it could help some come across a popular topic here on the sift they wouldn't have otherwise.
I'll bet big tags that would come up are:
Ricky Gervais
Atheism
cats
Obama
Olbermann
Sarah Palin
(cut from my comment on this post)
What other topics you think will be big?
Functionality dept.:
perhaps tags can be drawn together to be counted with the name of the channels as well. (it would suck if "obscure" didn't come up because it was already listed in the channels). Also duplication of the channel name and the tag for a single video should be discounted (i.e.: a video with the tag "comedy" and the channel assignment "comedy" should only count 1 toward the "comedy" tag.)

We used to have one in the sidebar but everyone called for its removal.
Oh geez.
I guess damned if you do and damned if you don't, eh?
I also have this idea for a "*requeue" invocation, that we can do to a video only once every 3 days. What you think?

I second this.
Veto.
That's what the personal queue and Beggar's Canyon is for.

To limit dupes, Probationary members should be limited to only posting videos that they themselves have uploaded.
Okay, instead of a tag cloud, how about cloud tags?
/\you put a lot of effort into that epic fail of a joke, didn't you?
Nobody uses tags consistently. That's why the tag cloud was loathed so heavily.
I think I remember the old tag cloud.
For nostalgic reasons of...nostalgia,
is there any snapshot?
And OMG Kronos that was bad. O.M.G.

I put a lot of effort into epically failing at life.
"Tags on clouds" I for one enjoyed the joke - good on ya!
