I hope it is ok, but I would like to continue processing-as-pages until the collection is completed as a first phase, but at a lower processing priority (in order to not overtax the servers):Here is the issue I'm hoping to be able to resolve with the assistance of the IA capabilities: Each of these Vines contains a single idea - a short "video page" or in effect, an index card.* It's possible that not all are relevant: I don't know yet. But what do you do when you have 14,000 index cards that are all a jumble?* It is the output of 2.5 years. Well, if they were physical index cards, you would lay them out on a table and begin sorting, stacking, connecting. As I went along, I would tag (using hashtags) to build up a future set of metadata that would ease the process of organization, but where can I find a table big enough to be able to work with 30 months at an average of 15 "videos index cards" per day? I knew I'd have to tackle this task eventually, but I had no idea where or how as I went along. My hope is to be able to this: a) have all of the videos laid out in front of me, indexed by whatever subjects I decided at the time of making them to be relevant: This would require all of them to be distinct entities, each with its own metadata intact on separate pages at first. b) Begin a process of discovering patterns, based upon metadata patterns and also with manual analysis. c) As each pattern is discovered, begin to move the separate pages into video "books" where like-categories (which may or may not already be reflected in the current metadata - I don't know yet) - which will result in a MUCH smaller set of pages, each with a set of videos. d) at the end of the process, provide you with a list of pages for deletion, as the video files will then be collected into their proper future (as yet unknown) categories pages. I know this kind of open, exposed process is simply awful from an SEO perspective while it is going on, but I've been struggling with doing this on my own computer and my own websites with the limitations of space and processing abilities. At the end of it all, everything *should* be nice and neat and tidy, but were this a physical library, I'd be the nutty guy with two library tables pulled together with large amounts of index cards, stacking cards and putting binder clips around them every day, as patrons look on with suspicion, noisily typing away at a laptop or typewriter, every day for weeks. I know it's unorthodox, using the IA's resources to help "organize my thoughts" (2.5 yrs worth), but it seems like a powerful enough system to be able to handle the task and at the end, if I upload at a pace that is respectful of the resource allocation, and at the end of my project, send you a list of IDs to then delete, the final result will hopefully be something worth keeping for the future, for whatever little contribution I might be bringing to it via these efforts. Let me know if this is acceptable.* The metadata processing, the space and the ease of use and the non-corporate nature of the IA were all factors in deciding to embark on this project with the assistance of your resources. But if this is a misuse of the archive (as a sorting/cataloging tool for future bindng, which will remain on the IA), let me know and I'll continue trying to figure out how to do this on my own and only upload a final product if I can manage to pull it together. It's just hard to find the space to lay everything out to work on this. Conceptual categorization is something I can do easily for others, but I have cognitive difficulty doing it for my self unless I see everything laid out in front of me, and the IA seems like an ideal workspace at least from a user's perspective.* [I know the back-end of things is a much different matter] Thanks for taking the time to read this, Jeff.* If I can get the go-ahead, I'll try to be as quiet as a mouse on server resources (and yours) until I make the request (whenever I've completed it - I expect a few weeks) for a large deletion of specific pages. Horrible for SEO, I know but I haven't been able to comprehend Google since they started favoring commercial about 2.5/3 yrs ago in any case. Kenneth Udut, Naples, FL === My current non-video effort is on [1]http://icopiedyou.com - closest I could get to a "thought collector" and be able to "google my own brain", but as the Vines are each a "complete thought" [6 seconds], I'm _hopeful_ that once I get them organized properly, I'll have a better notion of my own thinking patterns and categories-of-thought.* At present, the best I can do is collect loose pages of thoughts by date/time.* It's like being a library that got hit by a bomb, the pages are scattered and the numbers burned off, and I'm picking up the loose pages flying in the wind trying to figure out what parts of the library these pages go into (categories) and then organizing them into books for proper reading. So, yeah, hence my enthusiasm at finding a tool to assist in the task.* :) References Visible links 1. http://icopiedyou.com/
