Title: the youtube game - does anyone else do this?
Post by: gwEm on November 26, 2008, 11:52:24 PM

you know how youtube tries to guess what you want to watch with the letters you type into its search box?

i like to see the minimum number of letters i type before the video i want to see appears. quite often its less than three letters before it appears on the list. it may not be number one though. i think its a good way to gauge popularity

for example:

wh - gives "what hurts the most" on the list, the video which i wanted to see
clap - quite a few more letters to get "clapton"
jud - enough to get "judas priest"

anyone else do that, or am i alone?

yeah, i do that. not for a game, though, it's laziness. why type 25 letters if you can get away with 3?
