I had a look at YouTube and Google Video to check out the difference, but I really couldn't see any. What I did learn though was that alot of people out there take videos the same way I do; not very well. However, I can see a great use for this technology for people travelling to share with family and friends and for relatives living geographically separate. Actually even for people who don't have the time to watch your video when you do.
Now for libraries in particular. Mosman is an excellent example of webcasting author talks. Now for the library whose technology isn't able to support storing videos, a link to YouTube or Google Video might just solve that problem. Must think about this some more.
The other application I can see is for guided tours of library databases and catalogues. These really need to be promoted more and what better way to do it than with the borrower at the time that suits them. Not sure which library worker will be prepared to be videoed, but hey they're are so many challenges in this technology world of ours.
