Brief thoughts about YouTube

I have been looking at YouTube over the last couple of days. I haven't been there before despite its popularity. Now I see what the fuss is all about. There's some wonderfully creative material on the site; lots to engage and entertain. I much enjoyed the various satirical clips relating to John Howard and Kevin Rudd in the context of the coming Federal election. There's a top effort from the Greens based around the Led Zeppelin song Rock and Roll; "Bennelong time since I rock and rolled". If your political sensitivities allow for a bit of satire, have a look. Very clever.


Libraries could certainly make use of Youtube
to present content in a lively, attractive and
contemporary way to appeal to a younger
client group.


Here's another NZ rail picture for you.

It's the Kingston Flyer at the Kingston end
of the line; a sight to please any steam rail enthusiast. The trip is long enough to be a worthwhile outing; well worth including on
a trip to the South Island.
