Week 9: YouTube

Although there is a podcast with this lesson it is not broadcasting. There are many video hosting sites, YouTube being the most recognizable one.

There is a list of 62 such sites at http://web2.econsultant.com/videos-hosting-sharing-searching-services.html. Most categorize themselves as "social video sharing".

Decided to look at www.bliptv.com. So far the videos here promote other, commercial, websites. Hmmm.

Decided to try www.dailymotion.com/us. Categories here include 'funny', 'news & politics', 'tech & science', etc. A search for "public library" returned a JCPL 20 sec plug: http://www.dailymotion.com/relevance/search/public%2Blibrary/video/x3vwfw_jefferson-county-public-library-20s_family.

YouTube does not have a JCPL (Colorado) video though.

Other popular video hosting sites:

* Yahoo Videos
* Google videos
