Holy Cats! IssyKitty gets her 500th star point! Valued member since August of '07 Issy has made her mark on the Sift in both culture and content. I have been a disciple of Iss the Great, since our initial exchange was the first time the internet really talked back nicely to me. I am a student of the IssyKitty school of comment upvoting, which is if you have something nice to say, say it. If not prepare for a scratchin'! A little rundown on what it is to be Issy:

First (and characteristic) comment on the Sift:
>> ^Issykitty:
Yes, agree with twiddles... the annoying grating sounds of the bipeds were highly distracting from fully enjoying cuteness.

Her first Sifted Submission (I think):
http://www.videosift.com/video/Pavarotti-Non-tamo-piu-by-Tosti

Highest Rated:
http://www.videosift.com/video/Small-House-Seems-Spacious

She had the astoundingly good idea for a *happy channel a couple of months ago, and it's proven to have a lot of use.

Here's the key to Issydom, though: instead of running your mouth all the time, hunker down and get to voting. Look at these stats:

Votes Cast: 8993
Comments Posted: 1958

So let's congratulate Queen IssyKitty on her silver diamond coronation! But remember, be nice!

Technically, as of this moment he is only 1 point away, but it'll be any moment now before we finally have an *ASSGRAVY CHANNEL! Sorry Choggie.

Serious Kudos from all of us for your contributions. Let's all show him some love and pay a visit to his coolio profile page and check out
Blanky's QUEUE and PQ and make it an UPVOTE DAY!!!

Don't forget the many great videos in his library of PUBLISHED vids, yo!

WHOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

CONGRATULATIONS to you, Blanky!!!!!

Breaking news from Critter corner, beloved "The Squink" Critttter goes GOLD! Known best for off-kilter music sifts of yore, and biting sense of humor Critttter joined only this past December and has managed to turn the Sift on it's ear more than once. Could be charged with instigating the great *cheese riot of '08 with the following submission (whadaya say, let's bring the shame and all vote and make it her no. 1 vid, shall we?)

Here are a few choice Critttterisms:

Oklahoma State Rep. Goes On Anti-Gay Tirade
>> ^critttter:
Eureka Springs is controlled by the gays!? Holy shit! I should have bought property!

How To Remove All Evidence of PR0N on Your Computer
>> ^critttter:
is there a mac version of this? I mean, I'm just here by accident, but as long as I'm here...

Brian Wilson - Inspired by Demonic forces?
>> ^critttter:
I lived in Brian Wilson briefly in '99 - I was between jobs. He ate too many Frito Lay products, so I moved on to David Crosby. I was drinking alot, but his liver took the hit.

Don't forget to visit the profile, there's a lot to like!

So let's give it up for the Critttter! And remember everyone, that's FOUR t's.

The brilliant power point purchase plan!

Hola Amigos. I know this isn't news, really, and I've probably been living under a rock, but I just had my first experience with purchasing power points and I felt like sharing. This is genius for two reasons.

First, I was able to purchase five power points for 10 bucks. Now, I can freely *promote the videos I want to promote and possibly do some selfish self *promotes to boot. Yay me.

Secondly and most importantly, this is a great (and I mean GREAT) way to support the Sift and get something in return. I was on the fence (yeah, yeah, uhohzombies, I'm a Fence-Sifter... blah, blah, blah) about this whole power points thing in the beginning, but I really enjoy that I can help out the Sift and recharge my powers at the same time. It's a win-win!

I hope others take advantage of this awesome feature! There... I just wanted to share my enthusiasm. Feel free to talk smack and ridicule me now for being overly excited about power points.

Well, Something just struck me across the face. Either oblivion, or a smile. And since my face is tired, I think its a smile ! Let's all put a smile on our face, and welcome IssyKitty's new channel, *Happy. So if after watching a video, and you get that warm, squishy, fuzzy feeling, (unlike the kind your uncle gave you when you were a kid) Sift it to the *Happy channel!

And if you really dislike Dystopianfuturetoday, then join Miss Kitty in her attempt at an "obvious foil to Dystopianfuturetoday's "Dark" Channel". We still love you, DFT!

Congratulations IssyKitty. Fine Pick for a channel.
