# 20 You Too Can YouTube
Within the past year online video hosting sites have exploded allowing users to easily to upload and share videos on the web. Among all the Web 2.0 players in this area, YouTube is at the top having recently reached a billion views per day by 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 absolutely everything there including some library types who appear to have a lot of free time: library dominos. 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? Can you see any features or components of the site that might be interesting if they were applied to library websites?
OPTIONAL: Try placing a video inside your blog. After you've found a video in YouTube you want to place in your blog, copy the code from the "embed" field on the right of the video into a new blog post.
Yahoo Videos
Google videos
NOTE: Videos, like music downloads, are bandwidth hogs. It is recommended that you complete this exercise during light internet usage times. Remember to pause the video until it completely loads and then click on play.

I viewed "Miss Teen South Carolina response 2007", this is one reason why people should use the library to gather information, at least she would have had a fighting chance of answering correctly. Here's the link to the video: http://www.youtube.com/v/RQc6oBCuDXk&hl=en&fs=1">
I'm not sure all of that info is needed but it's from the "embed" field so I copied it as directed by the lesson.
I embedded a video at http://jaxscots.blogspot.com/2008/12/i-remember-different-version-of-library.html
This is useful since the library does not always have the DVDs I need.
My first time in You Tube. I added a video to my blog.

This was fun!!!!! Now I know how to embed a video in my blogs.
I felt so awesome being able to post a video into my blog. That was the probably one of the best moments of this whole training. Becoming a YouTuber...

#20 You Too Can You Tube. I am from Gen X so I am extremely familiar with You Tube. The entire 80s are on the internet, for better and for worse. I added some You Tube footage of Harvard's main library.
All right, Mr. DeMille...

I think YouTube is mostly for entertainment, although I have found some interesting instructional videos, like how to install a radio in your car or how to play the trombone.
