Within the past year online video hosting sites have exploded allowing users to easily upload and share videos on the web. YouTube is currently at the top serving up over 1 million video views a day and allowing users not only to upload their own video content easily, but also embed clips into their own sites easily.
Do some searching around YouTube yourself and see what the site has to offer. You’ll find everything from 1970s TV commercials to library dominos. There’s also the cult classic Conan the Librarian. See also:
- Medieval IT Help Desk
- Web 2.0
- …and my personal favourite, Johnny Depp as Cap’t Jack.
Of course, like any free site you’ll also find a lot stuff not worth watching too. But that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t explore and see for yourself what the site has too offer.
Discovery Exercise:
- Explore YouTube & 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?

NOTE: Videos, like music downloads, are bandwidth hogs. It is recommended that you complete this exercise during light Internet usage times.
