Same with some of the videos, put a description or partial transcript before click on a video thats 10 minutes long that I just dont have time for. I can read 10x faster than listening to some pundits blather on.
And usually well under 1 minute of that is the story, and the other 9 1/2 minutes is some commentator trying to sound smart.
It would also help if the video poster gave us some idea of where to start and stop watching rather than just assuming we've got a lot of time to waste.

It would be extremely helpful if people would put "Tweet" in the subject line of their posts
