These threads really get off topic quickly. I'm much more interested in what makes a good directory rather than whether a video blog should be restricted to under 15 minutes.
Personally, I like to leave the content decisions up to the creators. They make what they want, I view what I want. I don't like to watch anything much longer than 3 minutes, but that's just my viewing habits... unless its really really really good stuff. But, enabling better ways of finding good stuff (or stuff that I think is good for me, and stuff that other people think is good for them) really interests me. Directories are a decent start, but I know there must be ways to make them better.... -josh On 12/4/05, Andreas Haugstrup Pedersen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > You seem to be looking for trouble everywhere.
