Bio:
Mainly interested in politics (What's currently happening in our world?, Tourism) and arts (D r e a m t r i p 2.0, Trashz, beyond Trashz) and their exchange (Youth Culture, Senior culture, Public space, Engagement, the Machine). Created the Videosift Art Academy to stimulate our inherent creative impulse. Also curious what will be discovered at CERN's Large Hadron Collider, that will start operating in July/August 2008. Aiming at correct and comprehensive labelling of posts (i.e. credits, when and where produced, important keywords (tag research). I also think Videosift needs these channels. Hopes nearly all siftworthy online videos (some addresses) will end up on Videosift. Hopes Videosift will become less geographically biased and look more like this divided by its video production (UNESCO, IMDB), resulting in this figure - positively discriminating places where less video is produced in order to stimulate their video culture. Videosift is not (just) America's Funniest Home Videos (short look at geographical distribution of posts on Videosift). Wary of trusting posts with expressions like "the most awesome" as meta data. Seems to have a general preference for sifted posts that receive +- 20 votes and some discarded/personally queued posts. Likes bigger-sized (540px x 451px/script) videos. Can't keep up with the current sift pace.

Eklek, you are the only person I am asking this, but it seems you would like this video: http://www.videosift.com/video/Music-as-a-Roller-Coaster-Zurich-Chamber-Orchestra

Fine if you don't, and I know I could have your taste wrong since I am just basing it on others of my videos you have voted on. Anyway, hope you don't mind my pointing it out.
