Zippy was actually the first one I visited where I found some funny videos, especially the one about Peter the Skateboard Dog which I am inserting for my visitors to enjoy.
The one that was listed as a Very Funny Video: Keep laughing! in the same site had a slight morbid sense of humor. I see nothing funny about any kind of bird attacking people, especially children. Blinkx would be my second choice for surfing for a varied interest base. I went in the site, typed Nicolas Cage's name in and was able to bring up some videos on him. He is one actor who could never hurt my eyes watching him.
The varied sites do cater to a broad range of interests and mentalities. I think I have written enough about my experience as well as posted a couple videos worth adding which were informative as well as entertaining. I feel humor helps with education as well as adding pleasure and we all need laughter in our lives. What I like and dislike about the site would range to quite educational to offensive. One would have to be quite discerning (especially if children are involved) as to which sites would be viable and worth visiting. Some would be a entertaining and others would be a waste of time. CNN.com in the blinkx was quite informative even though you might have to deal with some of the advertisements. I went also went into the "1970s TV commercials," "library dominos," and "Magnum, A.L." and found nothing I was interested in persuing. I did like the "Crazy Library Lady" site. The "Library Ninja" was entertaining, but the "Angry Librarian" as well as several of the others was more than entertaining. One could relate to issues that all of us in the library, school, and working sector deal with.
Creating, adding and applying videos to library websites would, could, and can add to library communication in a visual mein. It could help with communication issues and we could see instead of just read the different ideas and processes from libraries statewide, nationwide, and possibly worldwide.
