Week 9: #20 You Tube Without Pity

Skipping right over the optional video producer page ... no time! no time! Maybe later, since Animoto looks doable.

SO ON TO YOU TUBE

Embed a video? We'll see if it works:



Apparently not. Sigh. I've tried the help, I've hit the edit html and paste, I've tried to share my you tube account with blogger and I've been foiled, foiled I say ... and not with the best aluminum either. (Tosses aluminum into wastepaper basket and decides to try again at home where websense does not lurk.)


What I chose was the History of LOL casts, by Ben Burnns, since this is the kind of thing that always makes me smile, and this one, in particular, because I adore Ken Burn's documentaries. Though I do mourn for HappyCat.

I can see the training usages, but mostly, I think You Tube sucks up a lot of bandwidth at libraries. So first, kill all the politicians, or there won't be enough bandwidth. Unless we install coin-operated bandwidth - I can see it now, 25 cents for just text, $3.95 for streaming video ... Ahem.

Using them on our websites is another thing entirely, since we can be having their bandwidth instead. I just hope we don't have LOL Librarians everywhere.
