Most videos took a long time to load, some didn't play, and others cut out after one or two seconds. The overall video quality was not high, especially when phone cameras were used.
Some clips had soundtracks and others had captions. I didn't hear any talking videos, but no doubt there are many.
After spending a lot of time trying to find a clip that played properly, I settled on "Travelling to Ronda". This fits in with my blog theme of travel and road trips. If you want to "hit" the road, Ronda, an historic, high-altitude town in beautiful Spain, would be a great place to go.
Ernest Hemingway visited Ronda many years ago and was attracted to the town's bullfighting. The ring is shown on the video.
The clip also has spectacular photography of the town and its surroundings, and has a relaxing Spanish music soundtrack. It's like taking a virtual tour and would be a good way of attracting real tourism.
Our Library Service could produce some short videos of our collections, services and activities and post them on our web site, for promotional purposes.
My greatest concern with YouTube is the often crude and offensive feedback displayed under the videos. Apparently, people are allowed to swear as much as they like, yet hide behind usernames.
