#17 Editing the 23 Things Wiki

I have to say that I enjoy the ease of editing in most Wikis - it makes it very easy to add your thoughts and ideas.

I added a blurb on YouTube to the 23 Things Wiki because I LOVE YouTube. I was visiting friends in Austin, TX this past weekend and we found ourselves looking at various silly things on YouTube at one point.

I showed the dark music video "I want to be a Librarian" where the 2 gorgeous young librarians basically lure a young man into the stacks and smash in the compact shelving. Then we also looked at code monkey and a few other really silly vids. It was great fun.

But YouTube is both fun and practical - you can get the word out on programs, parties, movie nights and other things at the Library. You can film short "how to" videos for people and post them on YouTube. So a fun tool is also practical. I like that combo. :-)
