YouTube, BoobTube and all the rest...

To answer some questions:

Would you use either or both of these sites? Why?
I do YouTube to watch Korean dramas. The first one I got hooked on is called Winter Sonata, and it's a big deal in Korea. It's actually a big deal in Japan and other countries in asia. I dare you to watch the first episode and not get hooked:

Aaaack! the episode is no longer available online. The distributor caught on and pulled it! Oh well. You can try some other Korean dramas at http://www.mysoju.com/.

Oh, here's a funny clip from youtube:





I looked at hulu and fancast and I can see that a lot of people could fritter their life away at these sites. I think I would make good use of them if I had some surgery that laid me up for months. But I'd rather read books instead.


Would either of these sites be useful for libraries?

I think these sites would be useful for libraries in helping answer questions from patrons. It's always helpful to know something about popular culture.
