You Tube

I've just learned the hard way never to click on a link while writing a new blog post as it will disappear if it has not been published...

It was always going to be hard to find time to do Web 2.0 at home (after the council blocked access to quite a few websites required to do it). I've finally found some time and sincerely hope to finish all in the next few weeks.

You Tube and similar are always great for fun and for serious purposes. It should be used to attract younger generations, as it is a part of their everyday lives. It could be used as a complementary information tool in libraries - it is short and cheap to produce.

I liked the fact that watching one video can take you somewhere completely different. Take for example the video about Olive Riley going back to Broken Hill and the link next to it about a very different Olive - a home water birth. It is as random as our thoughts (not to mention the keywords at this moment). It is like a technological approximation to thoughts. Great stuff!

If anybody is living with a teenager and hasn't seen it yet, please look at this:
