Thank You YouTube

From the Third World, unfiltered by mainstream media, YouTube gave me access to entertainment and more. Direct communication between Ethiopia, Tibet, Czechoslovakia and me, between the rest of the world and me. I entered an Ethiopian name and found Dedication to tlahoun gessesse (abate tlahoun) by a popular singer about a legendary singer. Video images documented the legend's life; the video soundtrack sung his praises.

Applied to library websites, YouTube could be interesting for oral history videos and programs.
