Okay, I admit until today, I have not spent much time viewing YouTube, but today I viewed a number of videos and enjoyed them all. For those of you who look forward to spring just so you can have Peeps--check Peeps on the Runway. I am a big fan of the Who so watched a brief video that included Pete Townsand. Another group I enjoy is Trans Siberian Orchestra. My very first exposure to YouTube was to watch some of the Christmas lights videos to their music so today I chose one of just the orchestra. The music and the clips used in the video were wonderful. I am not sure if it is just my laptop, but sometimes the video quality is not great, but the sound is.
While all I watched today was for nostalgia or entertainment value, YouTube could be used for instructional videos or previews of places to which one might travel or for school assignments. It is a great way to archive small clips of important video material which can be retrieved at will.
Right now I do not feel gutsy enough to try to embed one of the clips on my blog, but have no doubt that it would be great. Imagine blogging your way around the world and embedding clips from all your travels to be shared by friends and family. Library uses could be as a tool for bibliographic instuction, library tours, or entertaining ways to teach the Dewey Decimal System on the library's web site.
