*fist shake* why didn't I think to post this??

erm, I think the last minute or so of the video is missing

1. Make the show video/minimize video links so that they are in the same spot regardless of what you have toggled, but keep the thumbnail in the same place. Right next to the comments, embed, email, bookmark, and playlists links seems MUCH more intuitive to me. It really annoys me that I have to move the mouse back and forth to toggle the video (though oddly not so much to play/stop the video, then move cursor back to the toggle link. I think the annoyance is visual consistency. It would just seem to flow better.)


2. Add links to the actual channels on the submit video or maybe a little button to the side of each channel listing to expand to the channel's description about the channel and what videos belong there. I frequently run into the problem when I'm posting a video and unsure about what channel to put it in, then I have to open a new tab and type in the url of the channel just to look at the channel's description so I make sure I don't post it to the wrong channel, maybe even a link in the desc to open the channel in a new tab. Maybe this will cut down on the need to use *nochannel and reduce the number of siftbot comments I have to scroll past.


3. Speaking of links, what about making some of the menu items at the header drop down so that it reduces the number of links I have to click on to get where I want to go? For instance, make it so that hovering the cursor over "channels" makes a drop-down menu or something comparable appear with the channel links?


4. There also seems to be a lot of wasted screen space when it comes to comments. There's gotta be a way to fit more comments into the vertical space so that I don't have to scroll/page as much to read comments. I think the offending space for me is the 2-3 blank lines' worth between the bottom of the comment body and the info for who posted it (username/timestamp/etc) .

Less white space within each comment means it's easier for people to skim (but keep the space between different people's comments, since you need that separation to distinguish between each individual comments, alternatively, reduce that space too, but use some sort of visual partition, like username/timestamp, at top of comment, keeping other typical comment links below comment body). I also like reddit's commenting system where replies to somebody's comment are branched off like a subtree. That way, it's easier to follow the flow of discussions long after the fact.

Now that I'm talking about white space, what about being able to toggle the side panel so that the main content of the page (video(s) and comments) can expand to fill the entire with of the screen? There is a lot of wasted space near the bottom of the page after the panel ends (and imo unnecessary space in some parts of the side panel in general). Maybe have toggle buttons for each sub-panel within the main side panel?


5. Is there a way to search for long and brief videos or a secret channel for them that I don't know about? Frequently, when I come to the sift, I just want to queue up a bunch of long videos I can sit through while I munch on food or something. Or better yet, implement a system sort of like a playback queue that you can flag videos that look interesting to you but you don't currently have time to watch, then later you can go to that queue and just click through them all (I imagine getting them to automagically play in a row would be quite difficult, considering logistics of all the different types of embeds?) The only reason I bring this one up is b/c I don't know about you guys, but I quit subscribing to cable b/c I think it's a waste of money, and now get much of my news/entertainment from the internet (and radio, but that's irrelevant)

/phew!

fix't

The title does seem a tad sensationalist to me, but given the 35 seconds or so that he gave them to om-nom away at the carcass, I'd say it re-enforces their reputation as being voracious.

I wish that maybe instead of cutting back and forth between the underwater and above water shots, they could have split the screen to display both camera angles concurrently.

It sort of ruins one's perception of time during the shot. Furthermore, we don't even know whether the underwater camera work was really from that take, but I guess that might make it too 'boring' for their audience or something.

Thanks for the heads up ... didn't really notice it since I had been watching it directly from the TVLEGENDS' page
