Does anyone think that a small video series based around digging through Geocities for "archival-worthy" stories is a good idea? |

Sort of a highlight reel of Geocities? Absolutely |
05:50

shaqfu I was thinking more along the lines of someone "browsing" at random through the Geocities archive |

I'm not sure how to describe it |

shaqfu |
BlueMaxim: Like, StumbleUpon for Geocities, and filming your adventures? |
05:51

BlueMaxim |
shaqfu: something like that, yes, except without the "random" element, just picking out random subdirs and seeing what I find |
05:52
🔗
|
BlueMaxim |
Something like a video diary |
05:52
🔗
|
shaqfu |
Gotcha. I think focusing more on interesting things, vs. filming random stuff, would be better |
05:53
🔗
|
shaqfu |
Although, if you feel you can make a random walk interesting via supplying context, go for it |
05:53
🔗
|
BlueMaxim |
I can agree with that, but finding a random heartwarming story out of nowhere would be a bit more heartwarming |
