More information on Videos

I know that it is not required to give more information on video URLs that are posted. But I know that it would make it easier for me, in the subject line there was something that gives a little info about the post.

ie.

  Code:
www.nasa.com (Space, Telescope)


  Code:
www.cnn.com (24 News)


  Code:
www.ziffdavis.com (tech)


It might be a good idea to setup a thread of various abbreviations so that everyone would be using the same abbreviations. I know some URLs will have varied videos, but it would be alot easier to find one you want with more information and not having to open each one and then go to the rss and see what is there.

It looks like "genre" for movies, but manually selected between a list of "label" or "group".
I think the better would be to add a submenu under online feed.
Don't you think?

I think he means URLs linked in this forum.

Yes, with the addition of all the new video feeds, it makes it hard to find what you want.

martyn has started adding the information on a URL in the post is a huge help. It prevents having to open each rss and see what type of videos are in it.

ESOcast is a video podcast series dedicated to bringing you the latest news and research from ESO, the European Southern Observatory. Here we explore the Universe's ultimate frontier with our host Doctor J, a.k.a. Dr. Joe Liske.


Going one step further, maybe adding something to the subject line to allow a quick glance at the forum group and only click the ones that you are interested in.

OK, I need some sleep :roll:
It could be a nice feature anyway.
