About
- Try clicking on the various channels to see videos posted to that channel - if you're into music you can click the Music channel to get more music sifts - go on and explore! Use the "hotness" when you have opened the channel link to get videos that have gotten a lot of votes, or use "newness" to have a look at the new sifts.
  When browsing sifts you like, have a look at the Related Posts list to see other related videos, click the tags under the video title to see more sifts tagged with the same tags or have a look at other sifts from the same user in the More Posts By list. If the sifted video is in a play list, have a look at the play list to see other interesting videos the Sift users have linked together.
  Enter the Sift Lounge to chat with online sifters about anything and everything, or read interesting posts in the Sift Talk forum.
  The Top New Videos list is always full of interesting, current videos. It is always recommended that you have a look through the Top New Videos, but also have a look at these:
  - Upcoming Unsifted Videos - active video submissions that neither are published to the front page nor archived to the submitter's personal queue
- Have you seen a really funny, surprising, scary, interesting, cute or in any other way extra good quality video?
  Post and share it here - VideoSift is the best video aggregator on the Web, where we share, discuss, promote, and interact with the best videos out there on the web. Post it here, and share it with the large community of video-interested users. And - you are guaranteed to find more very good videos here already!
  Mind you, we only share videos you discover that someone else has made; if you "self link," by posting a video you have made, have posted or have interests in, you risk the ban hammer - read the posting guidelines before posting. The sift is NOT for promoting your own videos - it is for sharing videos others have made.

Best to test your site backups.

Ma.gnolia.com did it first. See how the delicious competitor threw themselves out of the race this year. In light of the mishap here at the sift, maybe all you admins (I'm an admin myself) should do a back-up and test that back-up recovery process, just in case. A "it could have been worse" scenario come true. Founder recounts his disheartening tale and the aftermath. If I had my faves bookmarked there, I would definitely be irate. Good-luck to the sift.

This is great and timely. Thanks.

Um.. Somebody tell me why this is in the top sifts... It's ridiculously long, boring, and not all that interesting. The least they could do is talk faster so I don't keep falling asleep. Some editing would have been nice too.

It seems like a good reminder to keep your own computer backed up. There are backup services that can backup any changes to specified folders every day.

I have a subscription with Webroot Antivirus, and 1 gig backup is included for free, which is enough for my document folders.

Upvote for using the correct name pronounced "MySequel" instead of the wrong way of "MyS-Q-L"

This porn is terrible. How long is this foreplay?

For such a good-looking high-performance mic - the audio is kind of crap.

I'll watch the rest of this 4 hour monotone epic when I want to go to sleep tonight.
