Week 9, Thing 20

I've heard of YouTube but never really checked it out. I think it can be used as a great cheap marketing tool for libraries. It is also a good venue for freelancers or new artists trying to get their work seen. I heard on NPR a story about advertising and how YouTube is replacing some of the more traditional tv and radio ads. Very cool.

I used to work for the Chesapeake Bay Foundation. I recently visited their site and saw they are using RSS feeds and made a YouTube short to thank VA legislators for supporting certain legislation. Using these types of tools and resources makes it easier to target the younger crowd - a segment CBF has had difficulty reaching. All sorts of uses for this cool stuff!
