YouTube is a part of life

I have been watching YouTube videos for at least 3 years--it seems longer--because I have a teenaged son. "Mom! Come look at this!" usually means that I am about to be:

1. disgusted


2. revolted


3. mildly amused


4. amazed


5. entertained


6. informed

My son is older now, and he deigns to admit that I may actually know what's going on in the world, so he will ask me if I've seen whatever--the man who can sing like a girl or mean kitty. Library Ninja is the name chosen by the teens for their page on our library website.

Increasingly, there are videos created by my family and friends there, and I can watch them whenever I want. I was going to refer you to one or two, but after viewing them again, I've had second thoughts. We are using video more on our library website because we can "park it" on YouTube. I know that's not the correct terminology, but in other words, it doesn't drain our capacity.

I prefer videos or vblogs to podcasts for most communication that might lend itself to one or the other. More about that in the podcast blog.

I am out of order with my blog posts. I am waiting for a reaction from some other people before I discuss Google Docs.
