That is so neat that you can post a video right on your blog! It worked with no problem. But I didn't have to copy and paste the code as suggested. Once you have an account with Youtube, you click on "Post Video" and it will ask for info on which site you have a blog with. Then it finds your blog, gives you an option to add text and then posts it. It put it right at the top with the correct date and the title of the video. That is cool! It also has links for related videos and a volume control.
I have used Youtube before and have had fun looking at different things. There s a lot of creative videos represented amidst the wierd stuff. I chose this video because it was good quality and packed a lot fun into a short time. It also didn't have any inance commenting going on in the background. I clicked on a video with two otters doing "it" together and a young boy was yelling in the background..."I can't believe this...I am going to post this on the Internet." I tried to find a cute video about hedgehogs but most of what I got had to do with the show "Sonic the Hedgehog." That is a of the drawback to Youtube...but it is also an issue present in most of the web.
In terms of library use, one could use Youtube videos to promote library programs. The system could put up a video of a segment of a lecture or discussion on its website to give the public a taste of what the program was about and to encourage them to come to future ones. If the branch was represented in a community event, it would be fun to show their customers what happened with a video.
