I'm almost done with the 27 Things; really, I can see the finish line! This time it's YouTube. Hmmm. I seriously doubt I could say much about YouTube that hasn't already been said.
Because of ease with which anyone can post anything to YouTube, this site has the potential to waste a lot of time in mostly entertaining fashion. As a test of this, I thought I'd search YouTube for a subject about which I've been thinking a lot lately: QR codes. As evidence of the entertainment value of YouTube, check out this Japanese commercial featuring the power of the QR code:
Of course, many people post videos to YouTube that have value far beyond simple entertainment. A few months back, I blogged about the potential of QR codes in libraries and demonstrated one such use by creating a QR code pointing to a video that Sacramento Public Library has available on YouTube. Take a look at that post and give the QR code a whirl.
Other folks are posting to YouTube with information about the concept of QR codes in general. Because this technology (the QR code, not YouTube!) hasn't hit the mainstream in the U.S. like it has in some other countries, this kind of information is very useful. Here is one of my favorites:
I publish another post later today showing Sacramento Public Library's first for-public-consumption QR code.
