My hope is that this video makes it through the queue, if not only to serve as an absolute reference point when responding to comments like "Boy, that sure was annoying!"

"Oh yeah? POPOZAO!"

I think a lot of this is for the PHP and interface engineers to figure out, joedirt. In some ways, it makes sense to separate categories from tags by putting them in another table. The user then has more room for (hopefully) useful tags. I would not qualify DNS as being an issue -- irregardless of what part of the request indicates display inclusion (a query parameter or a DNS alias), the PHP must still have awareness over 1. the category requested and 2. the videos which have been associated with that category.

Instead of funny.videosift.com, may I humbly suggest adopting a tiered approach? For example:

lol.videosift.com
rofl.videosift.com
roflmao.videosift.com
tnroflmao.videosift.com (thermo-nuclear roflmao)

popozao, y'all!

I once accidentally snorted 'Alpine Spice Powdered Instant Apple Cider' mix. Definitely painful.

I didn't understand the first part of your idea, joedirt. Are you suggesting that tags become categories or that tags become the subdomain?

In a manner of speaking, tags are already categories. The difference is that tags are free-flowing and specific whereas the categories currently under discussion are static and general. I should also point out that DNS naming is much more restrictive than tags in terms of legal characters. In other words, we can't create BONSAI_KITTENS!!!.videosift.com.

You mention something else that is interesting. Could a video submission be associated with more than one category? For example, can an amusing TV advertisement be associated with both ads.videosift.com and tv.videosift.com?

Perhaps you should try changing the title to "ADORABLE, ATHEIST KITTENS FALLING ASLEEP IN STEPHEN COLBERT'S LAP! OMG!!"

Governated!!

That bear never knew what hit it.

The premise of the excercise is explained in the beginning, during which they show a clip of a propane flame and state something to the effect of 'oxygen burns fat'.

As for why she does the tongue w/ eyes thing, your guess is as good as mine.

One suggestion I have is to setup a general purpose CNAME alias for *.videosift.com. The benefit being you can then manage all of the subdomains with PHP -- not Apache.

Maybe the Daily Show/Colbert Report videos would be better put into politics.videosift.com and tv.videosift.com, depending on which is more relevant.

The zombie invasion happened about an hour before I bought my new laptop at this mac store (in SF). There was still fake blood smeared on the glass.

What part of Montana do you live in WolfDemon? I moved from Missoula about a year ago.

My old roommates have this on VHS and play it for guests at every opportunity. The music alone sends chills down my spine.

This song is on the Hackers soundtrack, no?
