This was the first time I'd visited the Flickr site, and I found it interesting and easy to search for photos. It's mind boggling how many photos are available. Some individuals appear to have all the time in the world to take pictures of their cat and post them on Flickr. It boggles the mind!
I've used Youtube before, for both work and personal reasons. It's also very easy to navigate. The quality of the videos really varies -- some are terrible, obviously shot on cell phones. However, there are a lot with very high quality production values and some that are really useful. I'm amazed by the number of "how to" videos on topics from knitting (and tatting, which I though only my Mum knew how to do!) to tap dancing to plumbing to French braiding hair. I think back to all the requests I used to get on French braiding at Fish Creek at this time of year (desperate mothers with kids in dance recitals) and how the one book we had in the system was always out, with lengthy hold lists. Now, customers can find a much more useful resource on the topic on Youtube. Unfortunately, there are sometimes also a lot of very bad videos to wade past to get to the gems.
