Thoughts on YouTube

Wow, how great to have Cookie Monster at the library, Mr. Bean at the library, and the library detective from Seinfeld all in one place! : )

I think YouTube is a fun site. It's a good place for people to be creative and have fun. I like how they show "videos being watched right now" on their homepage. It is always fascinating and sort of boredom alleviating to see what other bored people are doing on the internet. Was it google that used to let you look at what people had recently searched for? Can you still do that??

In addition to the aforementioned classics-from-TV library videos, I also watched some videos made in real libraries. There were library pranks captured by peeking through the stacks. There was a Japanese game show set in a library and a musical set in a library. I tried to remember if YouTube was where I had seen footage of some students making a coordinated, multi-vehicle effort to slow down traffic outside Atlanta--talk about angering people--but I couldn't find said video right away. I glanced at some other videos as well, but my favorite was one of the first I watched. I'll include it in my next post.
