Video online this week.
Until now I have only used video online when I have managed to miss recording the last few minutes of a TV show!
It has been very handy for this task, but actually filming and uploading is a whole new world.

The examples of uses are interesting, but I found the "welcome" to new employees a bit offputting - too impersonal. Mosman library's author talks are a great idea for those that can't attend. I presume the authors gave their permission for the recording of their speeches.

YouTube doesn't excite me in an exploratory way, but it could be a useful adjunct for ephemeral information. I notice that searching on Google videos brings up links to YouTube sites, so I think I'd stick to Google (the one-stop shop).
