Youtube improvements
Aug. 24th, 2007 01:50 pmI noticed at the beginning of the week that Youtube have now added comment ratings to the site. It's a nice idea - on most sites that allow comments, this gives some idea of the worth of a reply by allowing users to vote them either "thumbs up" or "thumbs down". But given Youtube's population I think my idea is rather better:
(NB. Unfortunately but perhaps not surprisingly, that comment is real. It's on a video of the moon landing, in which most of the comments are giant leaps for sheer idiocy.)
I don't know if I've just noticed it more recently, but people like this are spilling over into everywhere even though that site and Myspace (truly the trailer park at the back of the Internet) have done quite a good job of rounding up the people who would lose a battle of wits with a glass of orange juice. It makes me wonder how they use keyboards without accidentally eating them.
"Astronomically stupid" would have been a cleverer pun, actually.
