Playing with Youtube was lots of fun. There is so much stuff on there it is amazing. Of course much of it is probably breaking copyright laws. Want to see a Duran Duran video clip to relive the eighties? Easy. Looking for a good laugh from a a clip from great show like Whose line is it anyway? No problem. Trying to remember the scene in Friends with Billy Crystal and Robyn Williams? It's there too. Youtube is also an easy way to upload videos for friends or relatives to see. There are also a large number of people using Youtube as a video blogging tool.
Aside from the sheer volume and variety of content, the great thing about Youtube is that is all works so well. It is easy to upload clips, to search for them, and to embed them in your own blog. As for library uses, perhaps it could be used to broadcast storytimes or author talks for people who can't make it to the event.
Or we could use it to broadcast run of the mill, everyday library activities like this one...
