Task 20-YouTube & Other Video Sites

I just watched a couple of videos on autism and read the comments about the first one I watched. I am concerned that the information available on these videos does not have any sort of control over it, and may or may not be true. The comments were uncensored and were quite offensive at times. I watched a second video that flashes pictures of all sorts of individuals that it claims have been diagnosed with different degrees of autism. I then explored MySpaceTV, AOL Video, and Metacafe. They all seem to be similar. Metacafe seemed to accomodate the use of more tools than the others, having buttons for Facebook, Del.i.cious, Stumble, Netscape, and Reddit. There is also a button for digg it and for podcasts.

Despite my concern about the authenticity and accuracy of information of the videos on these sites, some of them are entertaining--like home movies. I also watched a movie trailer on MySpaceTV. These sites can be valuable for becoming aware and knowledgeable about new movies & music videos. It is also cool that you can stream video on to your website or blog. I just bought a new digital camera that can also shoot video clips. I'll be experimenting with these sites and how they might be useful for different programs.
