On YouTube there are different things I like to look for. For this exercise, I did one of my favorites -searching for soccer highlights. For example, check out the collage of wicked moves by Ronaldinho.
Hulu and Fancast. Would I use them? Probably not. I can see the potential of something like this becoming invaluable to my entertainment life though. The ideal model for me would be shows and movies available via my broadband connection, watchable on my TV. In this case I can pick what to watch, when I want to watch it. I'd be willing to pay and dump cable if I truly had choice and it was functional enough.
The entertainment conglomerates are dragging their feet, but one day it may happen. For now, sitting in front of the computer is less relaxing. And I try to keep my TV watching down a bit as it is.
Useful for libraries? A service like this on a library web site would be great, but seems unlikely in the current digital copyright climate. These kinds of sites are significant to us in that they will drive demand for public access computers as they become more common.
