Comment on the quality, entertainment value, or usefulness of the content on these sites.

I have used YouTube to look up old jazz songs for my jazz playing daughter; "how to..." ballroom and latin dance videos to supplement dance classes my husband and I were taking; sixth sense and XBOX 720 for a look at future technology and a few fun videos for a laugh. I haven't tried uploading a video onto YouTube yet.

I have found YouTube to be very useful and entertaining, as well as containing an easy to use search function. The only thing that isn't always perfect is the quality of the original video that has been downloaded. I have been lucky, in that everything I have searched for I have found several videos to choose from. I can just keep watching different ones until I find a decent quality of video to watch.

I give YouTube a thumbs up for entertainment value and usefulness! Quality is a little more precarious, but usually a good video can be found to watch as well!

Flickr:
I really enjoyed looking up photos on Flickr. I have searched for photos on Flickr before, but I do not have an account on the site. I did the tour and found out that you can edit your photos, make albums, coffee table books, dvds, cards, calendars, etc. from your photos. That is really cool and very useful. I think that this would be a great way to keep and organize photos as well as share them with people. I found out that you can choose the privacy settings for each photo and also you can join groups of people that are interested in the same type of photos that you are.

I give Flickr a thumbs up for quality, entertainment value and usefulness!
