Youtube and GoogleVideo - Week 6

Chorus- All praise youtube. Gosh how I and many cyber friends love this technology. I've been hooked to this youtube site for over a year. I can't even remember the first clip I watched, but now I can't get enough at home on my brother's broadband connection. We both watch heaps of filmclips, interviews, and recently I've discovered even missed Home and Away episodes on there.
This tutorial has taught me the difference between the two, I never knew that Youtube was limited to 10 minute clips, but that explains why H&A episodes come in two or three parts!
Reverb- I did look up for the first time some library content. First I noticed that if you try for Mosman Library on Youtube nothing comes up, but when searched in GoogleVideo all these clips are found, because they are 40 mins long. I chose to view Peter Fitzsimons who we've had here, and Nolene Brown. That had a link to a two minute Blankety Blanks tribute clip. Man, that was a great show. Good to see Jon English on the panel too.
One other library clip I found was -"How Long Has It Been Since You Last Visited The Library?", only 32 seconds but a great ad for the Orange County libraries. I liked the ad for the NJ libraries where the online service of a librarian answering your questions made me think how great it would be to advertise our YourTutor online service that way. Anyone got the funds!!!
Now the best part- embedding a video;

The Babys-Piece of The Action
This video is the rarest of all The Babys videos on Youtube. If you look at the comments on Youtube on this video, under fxstocker, you'll see my comments.



The Babys- I'm Falling
My fave song of all time (really!) and you can see and hear Wally Stocker (lead guitar) in all his glory (as mentioned in the flickr blog).

Thanks for your thoughts on Youtube. There is some amazing content on there - as you point out - both library and non-library related!
