27 Things: YouTube

I have been aware of YouTube for a while now, my freinds and I always use it to look up old cartoons, or SNL segments (before NBC takes them down ;) ). Sometimes we find random comic peices or a Simpsons punchline clip. YouTube has been really great for that. I hope that YouTube will expand its ability to present grassroots news since its been hard to trust news from the media based on what does not get reported (like said Senator's bad remarks in the KCLS 27things Blog). Also now that Google owns YouTube it is providing a base to expand public domain use of copywrighted material which is a boon to libraries and Public Domain enthuiasts alike.
