Thing #20 - YouTube

YouTube is a site that I frequent often. Here is a recent favorite video of mine. It uses typography (as a direct reaction to music) as an artform, and it is absolutely stunning.



I can see YouTube being useful for libraries for events, programs, or lectures. The previous assignment video The Machine Is Us/ing Us is a good example of how streaming video could be useful for a library system.

The main drawback to YouTube is that there is a lot of, well, bad videos that you have to sift through to find the gems. Another rapidly expanding streaming video site that I use is IMeem.
