Yes, someone else gets it - keep it simple! I made quietyoutube.com (put 'quiet' in front of any youtube video) and get a page of just the video, nothing else. I made it a couple years arg. Shame I can't get the SSL cert, though the bookmarklet I made works well enough.

Mwahaha TYTY :D

Really cool! One issue I see is when someone uses the same word as title, no one else can use it (as opposed to a number-based titling system where no one would care if /90289432 was in use). Also someone else can peruse other people's gifs by just checking random titles (perhaps a non-issue, though).

HMMM. Can you describe the first issue again please? Also sorry for the late response. Not too good at seeing the responses

Maybe it would be a good idea (or not) to use javascript to ease on server side CPU usage:

https://bgrins.github.io/videoconverter.js

It's quite bruteforce and it is a really large javascript file, however you could leave out all the unneeded codecs for reducing the size. Also you could first preprocess the video on server side (clipping the time interval, maybe resizing) and only leave the gif encoding to the client.

Correction: let me google that for you http://lmgtfy.com/

Thanks, I couldn't think of a way to find the address of that site.

I'm sure it must be listed in the Yahoo Directory somewhere.

If you'd like to set up a recurring donation, then yes, Gittip is the easiest way to do it. That said, we're not picky about donations; we'll accept pretty much every payment method or barter.
