Youtube and TeacherTube

 Youtube as most people know is a free online video database that anyone can use or upload anything they desire. Over time there have been variations of Youtbe that have been created for specific types of clients, one of them being TeacherTube for educational uses.
    
What did you like or dislike about the site and why did you choose the video that you did? 
 I like Youtube for it's lay out and how easy it is to search and advanced search for video, however I don't like how that anything can be posted on to Youtube.

TeacherTube is a educational video database that has chips that are great teaching aids in classroom, but the only thing that lets the site down is that it is a very hard to search using the search tool bar in the database.

Can you see any features or components of the site that might be interesting if they were applied to library websites?
This is a really you idea to consider to put on a library website, being able to post videos such as interviews with authors and reviews and thoughts form the clients/ reader on what they've read.
