Within the past year online video hosting sites have exploded allowing users to easily to upload and share videos on the web. Among all the web 2 players in this area YouTube is currently top dog serving up over 1 million video views a day and allowing users to not only easily upload their own video content, but also easily embed clips into their own sites. If you're a DA library then you won't be able to search YouTube at work. This site is currently blocked at the Internet Access Point.
If you can search it from home or elsewhere then I'd encourage you to do so and see what the site has to offer. You'll find everything from 1970s TV commercials to library dominos . Of course, like any free site you’ll also find a lot stuff not worth watching. But that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t explore and see for yourself what the site has to offer. :)
Discovery Exercise:
Explore Yahoo Videos & find a video worth adding as an entry in your blog.
Create a blog post about your experience. What did you like or dislike about the site and why did you choose the video that you did? Can you see any features or components of the site that might be interesting if they were applied to library websites?
OPTIONAL: Try placing the video inside your blog using the copy and paste code for the for "Embeddable Player.” Note: you'll need to use Blogger's Edit HTML tab when pasting this code.

NOTE: Videos, like music downloads are bandwidth hogs, so try these task at non-busy network times.
