You Tube - more comments

You Tube - I found it to be an interesting site although I don't know if I would be a regular visitor. I viewed the Web 2.0 clip and the Library 2.0 clip that were suggested in this week's learning activities. Both were well done and both showed how things have changed and are changing. It got me to thinking about how our library could use the best features of Library 2.0.

The You Tube has lots on each page but it is fairly easy to navigate. Time goes by too quickly when you are exploring. - Many videos come under "play" but there are some that are learning tools. In searching, I found tags are given but there be many variations given by different posters as there has been on many of the sites we have used during this learning experience.

You Tube - great variety

I spent several hours exploring the videos on You Tube. I was surprised at the variety - quality, topics and length. The challenge is the band width. The best time without pauses was the beginning of the soccer game gold cup this year between Guatemala and Canada. I saw all the introduction but quit before the game began as it started to have too many pauses. It was to be an hour video. Most I chose to look at were under 3 minutes. I did a variety of search terms to see what is there. -- books, genealogy, libraries, church and Canada. I wondered who submitted some of them as I would have thought there would have been copyright on them.

The one I have chosen to share is one my brother sent me the link to a few weeks ago. I seem to be able to watch all the way through without pauses. It shows what can happen when you follow your dream.
