Tech Daily Dose: Library Of Congress On YouTube, iTunes http://techdailydose.nationaljournal.com/2009/03/library-of-congress-on-youtube.php?rss=1 en Copyright 2010 Mon, 30 Mar 2009 15:03:55 GMT http://www.sixapart.com/movabletype/ http://www.rssboard.org/rss-specification Library Of Congress On YouTube, iTunes New channels on video-sharing Web site YouTube and the Apple iTunes service will allow the Library of Congress to begin sharing content from its vast video and audio collections. The channels, which will be rolled out in the coming weeks, will include 100-year-old films from the Thomas Edison studio; book talks with contemporary authors; early industrial films from Westinghouse factories; first-person audio accounts of life in slavery; and inside looks into the library's fascinating holdings. Among them, the rough draft of the Declaration of Independence and the contents of President Abraham Lincoln's pockets on the night of his assassination.

The move to YouTube and iTunes comes on the heels of the library's launch two years ago of the first U.S. agency-wide blog and its ongoing image-posting pilot project with Flickr. "We have long seen the value of such interaction with the public to help achieve our missions, and these agreements remove many of the impediments to making our unparalleled content more useful to many more people," Librarian of Congress James Billington said in a press release. The GSA last week also announced agreements with Flickr, YouTube, Vimeo and blip.tv that will allow other agencies to participate in new media while meeting legal requirements and the unique needs of government.

Yes, it's offering some cool shows free but in my opinion there are plenty more better online video sites out there. Just take a look at the youtube video site and you'll see it's got almost everything nowadays. Actually YouTube is continually evolving and has the feature of user-generated channels and corporate  video sharing  . All the biggest shows, movie clips and classics can be found there. I'm not sure if Hulu is worth all the hype. It may be one of the top streaming sites on dozenvideo.com but it is not as good as HD video sites like Vimeo. In short, I'm not hooked on Hulu… yet.
