possible sticky -- reoccuring thread idea

[missedmyexit]

I've notice that a lot of people post Youtube clips of songs and guitars ect. I originally thought youtube was just were the frat kids posted their "jackass" stunts but recently Ive realized that there is a ton of good guitar stuff. From lessons to amazingly skilled guitar players to some pretty good clips original songs.

 

I do most of my lurking at work which I think is more common then some people (Bosses) might hope. When I get home to where I view youtube (watching video clips at work seems to be stepping over the line a little to much for me) I always forget which thread had the youtube clip some suggested that I want to see.

 

My long winded point. How about a youtube/video sticky. You see a good guitar related clip. Post a link in the sticky. You are infront of the computer and want to see some good acoustic videos.. You have a whole thread of suggestions. Anyways just a thought.

Send a link to the clip to yourself in an email.

That's not a bad idea.

 

I find myself browsing youtube more often these days; finding old interviews/performances by Dylan, Leadbelly, John Lennon, Townes Van Zandt, Guy Clark, Muddy Waters...readings by Jack Keroauc, Allan Ginsberg...pretty cool if you ask me.

I have a sub tab under My Favorites that I drop links to things like this - a number of tab sites, Kottke videos, MJH lessons, Fahey stuff right now. Every now and then I e-mail My Favorites form one computer to the other which is kind of a crude way of synchronizing them.

I also keep a text file on my desktop called Notes - I am constantly copying URL's and all kind of other things and just storing them there (usually with a one line discription like "HGAC String Test" - http://.....

Again, by e-mailing that at the end of the work day to my home system and back at the end of my evening work (if any) I can stay in sync.

Your idea, however, would let us share those links on the forum. Unforunately, I am afraid that it would end up with many comments and thus be like the current stickies with many pages that nobody really looks at.
