It's a very fun site, and easily addictive. I like grouping works together by the same person, so it's a little harder to get proper sets together. Since it's mostly clips, one can't really get a sense of the integrity of a work. The clips would work well for instructional purposes. One also has to pick and choose among duplicate versions of the same video that have been posted. There is, of course, no authority control for tags, which can limit how well one can find things at times. I miss not having credits, as one finds on imdb.com. Too bad there couldn't be some sort of merger between the sites. In the future, one may be able to click on a movie in progress and get instant metatag information about a given actor, with external links to other movies. What I especially like about it is that one doesn't have all the media player compatibility issues one encounters when, say, emailing a video clip. It is easy to share and comment on video clips. It is easy to post one's content, though You Tube owns the rights. It is already very popular with library patrons, so I would see it as a way of promoting library services in a creative sort of way. I like the filtering options, too. I chose Prangstgrup's Library Musical because it is simply a classic, because it was filmed in a library, and it is one of the first streaming videos from left field I ever saw on the Internet:
