[videoblogging] Video Archives, the best way to show them?

2009-09-23 Thread hpbatman7
I have been thinking this morning, always dangerous I know, anyway I see there 
has been a lot of discussion again on the best way for vloggers to create an 
archive page.  

Well as I said, it got me thinking and I would like to know what would make you 
view my archive?  I mean no matter how I set up an archive page, what would 
make anyone want to sit back and just watch all of my 400 or so  and counting 
video's?  

How could I even show that on a page? 400 and counting thumbnails?  Would a 
60x60 little picture pique your interest enough to select a random archive 
video and watch it? 

I think before any solution can be created we as vloggers have to answer 
these questions first.  Or am I just smoking crack?  

I am also begining to think that an archive is becoming more and more of a very 
personal thing for each vlogger and what works for one may not work for 
everyone, which is why it's good to have choices...

Anyway any thoughts?
