YOUTUBE!

FINALLY!
I made myself go in order because I KNEW I'd do the things I liked and would never get to other things.
Youtube should have been last.

Hopefully, I'll make it through everything.
Now, finally get to share my MOST loved videos.
(This will be a long post, with lots of visual aids - I call it "Why I love youtube")

First, let me share my all time favorite video on YouTube



Now, if you're at work and want to watch this, you MUST listen to the audio. BUT do not turn it up too loud. Your best bet is to watch it at home where you can listen to the volume and won't be looked at strangely if you burst out laughing for no apparent reason. After that, feel free to forward it to friends.
I think, although the topic is crazy drivers, this applies to my frantic efforts to complete these 23 things by the Neflin deadline.

I've been a huge youtube fan since I discovered it back in...
...I'm not sure. It was a while ago though.
Usually, i'd be at school, bored as hell and I'd duck into the computer lab with my earphones and watch videos on youtube.
I've never made a video to put on youtube...
But I have a friend who I met through another friend who went to school for TV production and has made a bunch for youtube.
I'd like to share one he made with his wife (my friend)

I think it's funny. Maybe you will too. (We all need a little comedy relief I think.)
Warning: Do NOT listen to it at work or in front of small children



Ok, so it's a little weird.
I still think it's funny.


In short, youtube is a great place for sharing video. Universities use it to share video lectures, bands use it to promote their music, kids use it to...
...well...be stupid and obnoxious really.
All in all, Youtube is awesome.

I can see using it in libraries...
A library could make a playlist of different topics like my stress management playlist (Again, previous warnings apply.)

I also think video is a great tool to use for libraries. So many people come in and don't know how the dewey decimal works or how to even find a fiction book. A library could make a simple how to video an either have it on their website, or playing in their library. They could make a video tour of the library showing where everything is located, or what special features their libraries have.
There are so many uses for videos I could make an entire post just on that.
I'll stop though.
And leave you with more videos.

This one is especially for Easter:










And lastly...
One with NO WARNING! (just turn down the audio cause it's a little loud)
