Status: 523% perk
Goodness gracious I have been busy! No time for this, but thought I'd better get last week's exercise finished real quick-like.
I took a quick look at Hulu and Fancast - and frankly, I can't stand watching television on television so I have absolutely no use for these sites. I watched a quick Saturday Night Live skit to test it out, and was very impressed with the video quality. However - thanks, but no thanks. I don't really see how these two particular sites could be of use to libraries - they seem to be nothing more than online television channels.
YouTube, on the other hand, can be a lot of fun - but also time consuming. I generally stay away from it other than to watch something somebody else has recommended. Again - I don't really have time to sit around watching videos all day...
Sometimes it's fun to watch funny kitten videos. I am however, most likely to watch music videos - and if you haven't figured out I like music yet, well...
YouTube is useful to libraries, especially for reaching out to and engaging the younger users. Sno-Isle recently had a book trailer contest, and entrants uploaded their works to YouTube for sharing. Very handy indeed - and if you want to see the entries, check HERE.
So - I thought I'd share a recent music video I have enjoyed - Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds doing Dig, Lazarus, Dig!!!
