Well I at the moment I am obsessed with Cirque de Soleil most likely because they are here in Melbourne at the moment and this always happens to me when I want to see the. You have to watch these short Videos from Varekai because they are the most amazing thing that I have ever seen. It would be so awesome to be there to watch them perform on the Russian Swings which I also have on DVD and I have watched it that many times that my DVD is now stuffed and doesn't work. Well I guess that is where YouTube comes in. I do however feel like I am cheating the system a little since you can download them for free but I did already have the DVD and I am only watching small bits of the show. So I guess that of I really feel bad then I will end up buying it again. The really good thing about YouTube is that you can find almost anything that you can possible imagine. And it is all at the tip of your fingers, literally. Think of all the possibilities not to mention the artists out there that are trying to get published. What better way than to post it on YouTube and you never know you might get noticed.
So I guess that I am a bit of a fan of YouTube and if I had broadband at home I would probably be on it quite a bit looking for those unusual videos that you may never have thought about. But I guess that you also have to be really careful with the wording of search because you might get something that you did not intend to look for. I don't know as yet what they censorship is on YouTube but it would have to be pretty good because any kid at any age can have access to it.
Well my final thoughts YouTube is a great to look for stuff that might interest me. I hope to continue on this never ending journey of learning new search engines (other than Google) and getting in touch with what is out there.

Youtube is just...it's made of awesome. I can't describe my love for that place adequately. It's a great reference tool for looking up small clips of things, and a lot of the content (not all of course) is used with permission, at least a few US networks like ABC ok'd youtube's use of clips of its show, due to the fact that it's pretty much free advertising for them.
ReplyDeleteon another note, inner city bookshops!
Metropolis: http://www.metropolisbookshop.com.au/
I can't remember what else I mentioned.
Hey Candace.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your information on metropolis books. I think that I will check them out. But then I just remembered that I don't remember seeing Minotaur on the least which is something that I at least know of and where it is to.
Oh there is so much to do and so little time...

Hi Candy,
ReplyDeleteI agree that YouTube is an excellent resource for small clips on almost any topic - some more serious than others. Although, you definitely do need a broadband connection to access and use it fully. I feel your pain!
