"YouTube" is absolutely the most entertaining site I have visited through Learning 2.0. The site is so easy to use - after signing in - you just search and play. It is also easy to share a video through email or embed one in a blog.
You can "stream" by opening a page that lets you send messages and share videos at the same time. On "YouTube," you can use the "QuickList" page to save a video temporarily, or you can create a "Playlist" to share and save your favorite videos. Saving your videos under "favorites" will enable you to view them at another time. Videos can also be rated and you can post comments as part of the "YouTube" community.
Since blogging is a tool that can be used by librarians for instruction, "YouTube" would be ideal for making an instructional video to be posted on a blog. Such an addition would be ideal for an Academic Librarian's subject page or a Public Librarian's area of expertise.
Unfortunately, I did find some unwanted video pictures and advertisements that were on the "YouTube" website.
