Thing 20 - YouTube

YouTube has revolutionized the web. It has given amateur filmmakers free publicity. Friends and family are able to share their videos with one another without overloading e-mail in-boxes. Internet users can view popular events that they have missed or would like to see again. For instance, I missed Adam Sandler hosting the David Letterman show on Tuesday night but I've found portions of the show on YouTube.

How could YouTube be implemented in our library system? New technologies could be demonstrated via YouTube. Videos of the some of wonderful programs scheduled at the libraries could be uploaded as well.

While exploring YouTube, I found several creative videos. One that I would like to share is called Tasty Choices @ Your Library. It's a short ad highlighting the variety of items that you can find at your library.



Another video that I want to share stars a guinea pig named Bing. The tune is catchy and it teaches you a lot about guinea pigs - it is all about them. :-)
