#20 You too can YouTube

Ok my blog will cover possible library use as well as for entertainment although my chosen video is nothing but entertainment. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g96AFEQ0DEM&feature=related How great is that! Assertive matters and this little guy send the clearly bigger then him dog packing. This brings home the point that you should always call before dropping by unexpectedly. This website is a time hog and you can loose yourself in the different fun videos that show the lighter side, the painful side (stunts), and the awkward side. All of this will leave you laughing cringing and questioning the fabric of society!
Now for practical application... The library could make good use of these media formats, as I believe we have before. What works better an article about a YA librarian being ducktaped and given a buzz cut, or getting to SEE the process? Makes you want to read more books during the summer doesn't it? Even mini tutorials would be handy. Something we could get setup for first time adult learners to watch to help them get acquainted with the mouse functions and some basic PC programs. I think it isn't a matter of deciding if it is useful as much as deciding if you can handle the extra hits!
