#20 You too can YouTube

Hi, I love YouTube! I even found videos of my fave pianists performing fave compositions . Some of the videos showed the performances close up so I was able to have a look at the more technical aspects of their playing .
I believe the max length of video is 10 minutes. This application could be used in the library setting for promotion, recap of events and library activities, surveys ,various instructional/ training programs for staff or public - e.g. new members - library layout , how to use the catalogue.
Groups, under the Community Tab enables you to share videos and have discussions on a common theme. The videos can not be downloaded to watch later . You can subscribe and be alerted to new videos.
If you like jazz, here is one of a number of videos that Joe has on YouTube. playing the standard 'Smoke gets in your eyes". Joe Chindamo, is an Australian Jazz Performer /friend from college days .
