- 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.

  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.

Welcome to taranimator and her first video!

Promoting this video and sending it back into the queue for one more try; last queued Monday, February 14th, 2011 10:08am PST - promote requested by bareboards2.

Hey, thanks, bareboards2!

*promote <-- (hoping that's how I vote for things..?)

Post cannot be self promoted by original submitter taranimator because taranimator does not have enough Power Points. (You can always purchase more Power Points.)

Woah! Great first sift! It's kind of trippy and totally cool. Dig!

Nicely done with your first video, and welcome to the sift!

Painfully out of tune, but it becomes part of the charm...

That has an almost surreal quality about it. I'd like to view that while peaking on shrooms...

Great first sift, Taranimator Welcome aboard.

*quality
