Wildly inaccurate dupe message on attempted submit
WTF Sifty?
I'm trying to sift this: http://www.cracked.com/video_18174_changing-world-harder-than-it-looks-feat.-aisha-tyler.html
and when I try to, it tells me it's a dupe of http://videosift.com/video/How-I-Learned-to-Stop-Worrying-and-Love-the-Loudness-War
WTF? They're not even from the same darn host.
Sifty, you sadden me

blankfistWow, that is bizarre. The bad news is I didn't spend enough time investigating this to offer anything helpful. The good news is the video seems boring anyways so I'm sure none of us will miss it.
The tongue face means I kid.
spoco2@blankfist... you're all heart man... all heart
antSAME PROBLEM HERE!
Submitting http://www.dorkly.com/video/8558/dorkly-bits-mortal-kombat-friendship's embedded code thinks it is a duplicate of http://videosift.com/video/4-year-old-calls-911-for-math-help ... This needs to be fixed!

siftbotAwarding spoco2 with one star point for this contribution to VideoSift - declared quality by ant.
anthttp://www.cracked.com/video_18233_supermans-dark-secret-unaired-episode-super-friends.html as well! VS thinks it is a dupe of http://videosift.com/video/Women-Being-Objectified ...
lucky760These types of dupes are not a result of siftbot searching by textual content but by finding what looks like an identical unique ID in the two embed codes. It's a bit tricky to feed siftbot a smart enough algorithm to support all video hosts, but when these types of issues arise just let us know so we can address them. Rest assured that these types of quirks are expected, but need to be addressed on an as-discovered basis.
Expect that these specific types of false dupes shall be resolved before long.

Thank you for the update, Lucky760.
lucky760All of the causes for the above false positives have been corrected.
