YouTube is certainly the largest and most popular video hosting website on the internet, with millions of new videos being added every day.
It was interesting to discover all the alternatives for YouTube.
I enjoyed the good quality videos on Vimeo.
I then had a look at Bibliotube. Neatly organized and structured with various categories.
The 12 seconds video “twitters” were fun to watch.
Back to YouTube again. I signed on using the 23Dingen account. I had a look at the favourite videos, added a favourite video that I have found to the list. Used the play list to play continuous stream of videos. Browsed through the categories and search videos using tags.
I often visit YouTube to watch music videos or to watch funny or eccentric news clips. I usually add favourites to my favourite list on my computer. I never had an account since I am not interested in video publishing. I will sign up for an own account to organise my favourites in a play list. No more clicking from one song to the next, just add all my favourites to a play list and then click on play list and listen to a constant stream of music.
Libraries can add videos to their websites to introduce the library services, to provide an online library tour or to give online library orientation. Publishing library videos on YouTube or any other video hosting site provides the opportunity for promotion of the library and reaching a larger audience.
