I posted my first video to YouTube in February, 2006. Just a year after YouTube launched in 2005. (Yes, it was lame)
Since then I have embedded or linked to YouTube videos 713 times. That’s a lot, particularly if I wanted to see videos by category. For example, all videos on the topic of CONSCIOUSNESS. Or, all videos of my Land Rover. While I have a Land Rover category, many of those posts don’t include a video. The 6,400 posts here at smays.com are organized in 41 categories with 256 tags.
While most of those 713 videos were created by someone else, I created 167 of them and 73 of them are YouTube selfies (me talking to the camera.)
Are you confused yet? It gets even more complicated. I created a category for videos not hosted on YouTube. These include .mp4, .mov, with a few Vimeo and TED Talk videos.
The goal here to make it easier to find videos by topic. Examples:
By combining categories and tags or tags and tags, I can make searches more specific.
- Quotes from Movies
- Quotes from Books (as opposed to all quotes)
- Eastern spiritual traditions (Buddhism, Meditation, Zen, Tao, Self) [54]
- Books on Consciousness [52]
While working on this post did some maintenance on CATEGORIES and TAGS. I have 805 posts (of 6,400) in the Internet category and 217 posts tagged with Social Media. With numbers this high, search is your only hope of finding something.
