Changes to the Internet TV Charts (Google)
So I finally got fed up with the way Google's Top 100 Video chart changes so little from week to week. I was finding when I used the charts myself, that if I saw the same videos in the charts as last week (e.g. Shakira Spoof etc), I wouldn't even bother with the rest of the video clips in that section.
So I've implemented a new filter that means Google's chart will always be fresh each week. No video can appear twice. This is better for viewers I think, and addresses the issues with Google's current chart algorithm.
The other charts do this phenomenon naturally, so this means the charts page will always be filled to the brim with new videos each week.
If you've enjoyed this post you can receive future musings, as I write them, via email. I post about once a week on average. More techy folk might prefer to subscribe to my RSS feed and I'd be delighted if you do. I'm rather more active on Twitter, have a few pictures up on Flickr, and I tend to keep track of people on LinkedIn and increasingly-less-so Facebook. My day job is running WorldTV.com - a site for doing cool things with online video. Merci.
