The YouTube website was really fun. Since it’s primaries time, I viewed several campaign videos. One I enjoyed was “Barack Obama Wins Delegates DC, VA, MD Music Videos Mix. It spoke to just about everyone, using all different age groups and colors. The music genre ran from folk, rap, latin, and reggae and featured well-known celebrities as well as everyday citizens. It highlighted campaign stops throughout the country showing a crowd in Iowa rallying for him. The Iowa stop goes to his point that he is the candidate for the job and that it’s not about color.
I believe U-Tube can be applied to library web sites because it taps into the youth of America. If libraries could show that they are fun and interactive and not stuffy dark rooms with lots of books, it would go a long way to promoting its image and resources.
