my Twitter thoughts
I think Twitter is great for libraries. Tweets can be quick and short on
whats happening in the library and can linked back to the library website on news and events.

Facebook Cite for the Library of Congress
Facebook (2013) The Library of Congress [online] Available at: https://www.facebook.com/libraryofcongress?ref=br_rs [Accessed: 3 Sep 2013]
The Library of Congress Facebook page shares interesting news on what’s happening in the library. The post I chose was about NASA’s Dr. Pamela Conrad will discuss findings of the Mars Curiosity Rover project. Their Facebook page is for anyone who is interested in The Library of Congress. The Library of Congress is located at 101 Independence Ave SE, Washington, DC 20540, United States. On their website they have phone numbers for all different questions, like General Information, Directions to the Library and Visitors' Information. Facebook’s main Headquarters is at Menlo Park, CA, United States of America. Facebook was founded on February 4, 2004 at Cambridge, Massachusetts, United States. That is why I think This Facebook page is authoritative.

Podcasts my thoughts
I like Podcasts. Podcasts are great to listen to while you are on the bus and when you play games like Minecraft. They are great to catch up on aspects that you don't have time to read, like the video game news.
Podcasts would be great in the library scene. A library could have a Podcast every week on what's happening in the library. Staff and patrons could catch up on what's going on, so that they don't miss out. Library staff can also use Podcasts for meetings if someone is sick.

My experience on YouTube and TeacherTube
What did you like or dislike about the sites
I like YouTube, I use it every day watching videos on games and anything that is funny. I love how it is really quick to buff the videos compared to other sites. There is are few things I dislike about YouTube. One of the things I hate is that on the main page when you log in. They don't show what new videos are uploaded, they make you click on my subscriptions to access them. Another thing is I hate ads, but I have found a work around for that to block them.
On the other hand there is TeacherTube, were I think the site is good. It is more educational than YouTube, mostly showing how to do something. That's said I haven't used much of the site yet.
Why did you choose the video that you did?
The reason why I chose the video I used, was that it was interesting to what my blog was about and showed me what a robot did in a library.
Can you see any features or components of the site that might be interesting if they were applied to library websites?
There were no interesting on features and components that I could see.
