YouTube, Dancing Cockatoos, etc.

I searched YouTube for videos about my alma mater's library - University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. They have a pretty good one about the UI Undergraduate Library, where I spent many hours in my youth . . . brought back some memories!

Also found some great videos on cockatoos dancing (my favorite is Snowball, a Medium Sulphur-Crested Eleanora Cockatoo, dancing to music by the Beastie Boys). I tried to upload this video without success (kept getting an error message).

I looked for my favorite TV shows on both Hulu and Fancast. However, full episodes of Lost, Desperate Housewives, Men in Trees, and Brothers and Sisters are not available on either of these sites. Since they are all on ABC-TV, I can watch full episodes (and I have) by going to abctv.com's website. I do this whenever I miss an episode because I am working (like Thursday nights for Lost). It's just easier than setting up the VCR to record the show (I don't yet have a DVR, but will acquire one soon).

Since my favorite shows aren't available on either Hulu or Fancast, I would probably not use either of these on a regular basis. I suppose these sites would be useful in libraries for patrons to view TV shows or movies (with headphones, of course), but I am not sure how popular they would be.
