Thing Sixteen

I absolutely love YouTube!! I choose this particular video "The Evolution of Dance" because it is the very first thing I ever watched on the site. Plus it remains one of my favorites to this day. I visit YouTube on a regular basis either to view something someone has sent me or to just look around on my own. Mostly it's for fun, but I do use the site to educate myself. For instance, my son recently recommended I go to YouTube to look up the Cupid Shuffle, a dance he said his group was using during a presentation in one of his marketing classes. Let's just say he was impressed when I demonstrated my dance moves while he's been home on spring break. I didn't even have to tell him what I was doing; he knew! Thank you, YouTube! Don't worry, I'm sticking with my day job!

I think the site is easy to use, and the only problem -- if you can even call it that -- is slow loading at times. But I just pause the playing, let it get ahead and click play. Very minor issue. This site has so many personal and professional uses. Our library even used a library recruiting video found on YouTube as our inspiration for a commercial we filmed last year. What's not to love?!!
