Of all that we have seen so far in 2.0 I have to say that video sites like YouTube seem to offer the least to libraries
I am sure that there are many visionaries out there that are now busy telling me about the wonderful applications and opportunities that we can use to promote libraries through YouTube, but all I can see is that anything we do will almost certainly be lost in the millions of videos uploaded yearly, not to mention the issues of privacy and security
On a final note - if we are to use video sites for our libraries please be sure to make the uploads 'cool', clever, vibrant and relevant to the audience. There would be nothing worse than having a video (like certain recent electoral campaigners) that is so bad/boring/sad that our audience is left scoffing at our lame efforts

I agree with many of your thoughts. It isn't enough to use the medium that appeals to the target audience, the content has to appeal also!
