[UTB] Three-week attention span, wrapping things up

Under The Bridge (UTB) is http://www.youtube.com/groups_layout?name=UTB
Tsumetashi22 didn't have the time to approve videos and gave control to FranzDuckVideos who also hasn't approved the backlog.

Topics I'll probably do before wrapping things up:
1) Linux and video editing
2) Review of YouTube video uploading alternatives
3) Review of Stickam/BlogTV streaming video chat alternatives

Video comments will be approval-only for spam prevention.

NOTES
Abusable mechanics:
- 1-starring videos
- downthumbing comments
- marking comments as spam
- flagging videos
- tag-spam or tag-matching (related videos)
- thumbnail scams (should be solved)
- account spoofing
- enemy subscribers
- hateful/bad messages
- bad comments on channel
- bad comments on videos
- bad private messages (PMs)

The direction I was headed in was to define issues, prioritize them, propose solutions, re-prioritize them based on the effort/cost needed to enact them, and then press for specifics.

By selecting the right stuff, and directing it to the right people in the right way, it would be noticed.

I also doubt that YouTube is ignorant of any of these issues, although they might be mired in bureaucracy.

> Yr not totally leaving YT, are you?

No, but I'm stopping a lot of the old projects I hinted at.. and I'm spending far less time here until I wrap up some other things first.

this is internet psychology.

i get a bit obsessed over my projects. i throw myself at something with such passion, but give me a few months, and i'll be completely over it.

This has been a real-life thing for as long as there's been interesting stuff to do. =)
