Fomerly known as video

Librarians can be so.. gosh darn (as in knit) earnest. So I liked that all the infotubey winners used humour. However my favourite is the book dominoes. Batman, in case you're out there, that's dark.

Anyway, one day, hopefully, we'll also see something like Best of Rhymetime, and the world record for the number of stuffed animals riding in a library lift..

So, the answer to the question is: YES.

TV is dead. Long live TV.

Choose.. a forking big television. But why would I want to do a thing like that? I chose not to choose television: I chose something else. And the reasons? There are no reasons. Who needs reasons when you've got the Interweb?

But here are some anyway.


What's really profound is not the amount, but the array of new sources. This is not incidental. Clay Shirky explains. He even mentions public libraries.



BBC proves the msm can wag the long tail. Now howabout an online sequel to Planet Earth..





It's not all Youtube. Actually, there was some disgruntlement when Flickr started hosting vids. This one is.. touching.




TED shows why, repeatedly, conferences work online. PS: that waterbottle costs $10,000. Sip sparingly.





Vimeo. One of many video sharing websites. Like I said, it's not all Youtube. Incredible HD. And this is what, just somebody's homework..?




Webcams. Not the golden weather; its golden tamarins. When bandwidth is free, and giant screens are too we won't have windows. Well, we will, but they'll be windows.



Youtube. Lest we forget. Not just for your cat. YT also hosts well-known television giants like New Scientist.. And offshoots of tvnz. And quirky bits of individual genius. Moo.
