So I want a program where I can enter

Task Name
Estimated Duration
Deadline

for a bunch of tasks, then it will display a graph of how I would use my time with maximal procrastination while still getting everything done, and display a countdown of "slack time left", and generate a todo list sorted by "Soonest Deadline First". Does it already exist, or should I code it myself?

I can't submit the video since the embed isn't compatible for videosift, but this video is worth checking out..

I guess sitting at a desk all day would make me want to hit someone with a rolled up Martha Stewart magazine too.

Seriously though, check out some of those weapons! Toilet seats? Dust busters??

Seriously guys we've been asking about this for ages, I want statistics, am sure you guys can provide them.

How about a new poll that actually works and can't be vote pumped by refreshing a page?

What is the demographic of the average sifter? Where are they coming from? What is the traffic? How is it growing? Is it plateaued? Come on dish out the dirt...

my profile says "unsifted videos (6)" but there are only 4 videos shown when I click the link. Do *beg videos count against the queue total without actually showing up in my unsifted videos section?

Does anyone else have this problem?

When I'm watching a video, (it doesn't really matter what source) it will only load up to a certain point. It varies on the video, but it will stop playing/loading. If I slide the time marker past the stop, it will start loading from that point, so I just move it back to before where I stopped the first time.

This happens all to often, and yes, I've got the latest flash player.

Firefox v 2.0.0.14

This is about the Warhammer Online Game (MMORPG) and it has embed, because of my lowly silver star I cannot post the embed - But anyone else is welcome to try

It may not be Top15 material, but its at least interestin to people looking for a new way to spend all their free time...

We say goodbye today to one of Hollywood's legendary leading men, Charlton Heston. As manager of the Vintage Channel, I'm asking fans to post some Chuck moments for us to enjoy and promote.

I was going to create a Heston playlist after there were a lot of sifts for it, but I went ahead and started one today.
http://www.videosift.com/playlists/swampgirl/Charlton-Heston-A-God-Among-Men
It needs many more!

Please use this thread to self promote your sifts and I'll happily add it to my playlist and shamelessly plug it all week.

I'm sure this week fans will be adding Heston content everywhere. Lets show some love for Chuck!

If you want to post a YouTube video marked "Embedding disabled by request", then do this:
1. Create a playlist with the video(s)
2. Make a "custom player" for that playlist, which provides its own embed code.

You can then embed your custom player on VideoSift!

I suppose they will eventually find that bug, but who knows. I just now got this to work for my post that had died: http://www.videosift.com/video/King-Crimson-Easy-Money-live-1973

Alright, I'm officially fed up with Vista. I bought this notebook a year ago and I bet I've had over 1000 browser crashes during that time.

Not all of us are technically savvy. I was member of VS over a month before I found out how to find an embed. I've heard for years that Linux is better, that it barely crashes and its less vulnerable to attacks.

Can a few of our ubergeeks help set me onto the path to freedom??

I'm ready.

Story

May be old news but first i ran across it.

Apparently "When it launched in 2007, developers boasted it would not be cracked for 10 years." which was a really REALLY dumb claim. Seriously. 48k is enough for everyone though.

Is there a way to h4x0r the site so that logging in doesn't rewind a video?

I don't want to be unnecessarily pedantic, but there seems to be little consistency in the way we tag. I'm not even sure I understand how it all works. If you have "Fred Flintstone" in your title, do you need to put "Fred, Flintstone" in your tags? I've seen a lot of folks tagging with "you, have, to, see, this, to, believe, it," Which is cute and all, but doesn't that just all a lot of noise? Who would ever want to see all the videos with "to" in the tags? We do get a lot of dupes because of poor tagging.

Someone once imagined VS becoming the "wikipedia of web videos". If that's in fact an aspiration, shouldn't we clean up our tagging a little?

Is there a post where general guidelines to effective tagging are?
