When I think of You Tube I don’t think of libraries! I have been to You Tube many times to see my niece’s uploaded videos. I have also been to You tube because of links from other users blogs, emails etc.
I’m not sure how a library would use You Tube? I searched libraries and I mostly found gags and jokes about libraries, oh, and 1 from Info People although I didn’t watch it. Sorry…
I went ahead and did some research on other sites where you can view and upload videos I found one called Viddler. Viddler is interesting because you can do all kinds of things with your videos. For instance you can Tag specific moments within a video, you can search inside videos themselves. I found this to be a new and interesting way to interact with videos.
Next I went to We Show! Now this is a must see video website. You can watch videos from around the world and on any topic. There are how to videos, weather videos, sports etc. A person could get lost here for hours. Once again I searched library, libraries and this time I came up with “nothing found!” Do be careful when browsing the videos as I found some adult content.
I think it would be fun to make Library Video’s. Some could be serious like “How to find books in the library”, or a kid’s video about the “Dewy Decimal System.” I could think up all kinds of fun stuff!
