Thing 18

I chose this video because I have always wanted to learn to tat. This is one of the wonderful uses of youtube (and the other video sites), instruction. I've always meant to go to a nursing home to find someone to show me how to tat, but now I can just watch a video on youtube.
Youtube video of children's programming could be put on the library website...to encourage others to participate in the future. We watched library tour type videos that would definitely be good on the website, but I think instruction would be wonderful. In our particular library, we could do a video on how to make a reservation on the public use computers, and how to print something from the same public use computers.

Thing 18

I was familiar with youtube before doing 23 things. The first time I used youtube was to learn how to tie a windsor knot. My husband needed to wear a tie to a funeral. Google Video and youtube are pretty much the same thing...just different homepages...on both homepages there are both google videos and youtube videos. I watched the 70s toy commercials, and really enjoyed them. I had a "Little Kiddle" myself...Lily of the Valley! The link for music videos took me to "Extreme Catapillar Breakdance" -I'm not sure that was what I was suppose to see. I went to some great 50's music clips, and a music video of the Everly Brothers doing "All I Have to Do Is Dream." I watched the library dominos video, but don't think I'll be setting any books up for another go. The library tour was really neat...great for big libraries!! I hope the library ad doesn't encourage patrons to try that in our library!! The joke was very cute...but blonde women might take offense. "Conan the Librarian" was a little more aggressive than we normally are! The web 2.0 video really makes you think...at the end when it lists the things we will have to rethink! I watched "The March of the Librarians" I liked the original movie better. I hope singing in the library doesn't catch on! The IT vs Librarian had a good message!I really enjoyed the video on discovering the book...it was easy to think of the first time on the computer while they were going through that!!
