YouTube is truly addicting...and really entertaining. Its all very grass-roots and low-tech and democratic. I looked at alot of library-related" videos, many of them were alot of fun but still got a message across, like "The L-Team" and "Ninja Librarian". I can see alot of potential for putting out all kinds of messages about KCLS and its programs and services to people through YouTube. I think the key, though, is to make the videos short and entertaining.
I thoroughly enjoyed exploring the podcast directories. On PODCASTS.NET, I found alot of library audios, many of which looked esoteric and/or boring, even to me -- a veteran librarian. Just because you can make a podcast doesn't mean you should! Maybe as podcasts become the norm, we will be more selective in what we choose to broadcast. I was thrilled, however, to find *Hennepin County Library TeenLinks Podcasts*, where teens review books and discuss the library programs they like and in which they are involved. I added an RSS feed to my Bloglines account from this site!
