Even highlighting the number of hits a vlog got
might be helpful. It would have the negative effect of those with the most
hits (earned or not) would keep getting more. However, that would be like
having a "best-seller" list for books. You know the "best-sellers" are
worth looking at more closely.

Subject: [videoblogging] Re: making
directories
Has anyone thought of using the Digg.com model for creating
a
directory? Well maybe not a directory exactly, but something like
it. Maybe it would be more analogous to Apples editorialized
listings
of featured podcasts except the community would be the
editors. The ones
that get the most votes move up to the front page--
like news stories do on
Digg.com. It might work best for individual
vlog posts than with entire
vlogs. I dunno. It's an idea. I was just
thinking about how cool that
model is for news and if it would work
for other types of content. I would
like to see a Digg for other
types of news too, like politics or
medicine.
I dunno, I'm just thinking out loud.
