I am one of those odd creatures who does not have TV at home. We have a television set, but we use it for DVD's and gaming. Our periodic adventures into broadcast media ended when I realized that it was a major contributor to my inablity to focus on tasks at hand (or even conversations at hand).
That said, I have been loving YouTube for at least the last three years. The incredible range of talented/outrageous/or just plain weird videos is fun to watch and fun to share. When we were asked to look for videos about libraries I found a couple I decided to save and share, the Seneca Library Holiday Song by Mikey Mike and the Library Bunch is perhaps my favorite for it's 80's romantic pop style, while The Library Rap by DashHowler538 had me giggling. I can picture sharing this one with a teen group.
Hulu and Fancast are both user friendly easy to search sites that I would recommend to anyone who has fast enough internet and wants to see their favorite show without having to subscribe to something.
When it comes to libraries using these sites I think it would be nice if folks who wanted to could use their computer time this way. I think we already have a wireless user or two doing just that up here in Darrington. The hardest part of this assignment was getting the time to really check out the sites.
