Animoto is down. Be back later with content!
UPDATE, NEXT DAY: Wow, that was some work! I got my photos loaded through my Flickr account (which took a while), and then apparently they don't allow m4a format, just mp3... So, after 20 minutes of reformatting adventures, I got the song I wanted loaded. It's rendering now...
The video is made of photos I took at a Sigur Rós concert a few years ago at Bass Hall in Fort Worth. It was an amazing concert, and I chose one of their new songs to be the soundtrack to my photos.
I will DEFINITELY use Animoto to make a few "class videos" for our holiday and end-of-year parties. Hopefully, by then, they'll take care of the bumpiness and lag time. Again, I'm hoping they allow these videos through the firewall.
Right on, they're done rendering - let's give this a go!
Ok, here's a link to it!
I tried to get it to embed, but scripts wouldn't work right and my blog's not showing up on their Blogger interface! Grrrr.
Let's try the Flash option here:
Yay! There's my video! Loverly!

Thing #20 - YouTube, iTube, We All Tube for YouTube!
I heart YouTube!
My favorite thing about YouTube is they way they immediately link to related videos. One night, I was bored, so I searched for "baby laughing," and I was fully entertained for at least half an hour, following the related video trails.
My all-time favorite YouTube video is of prison inmates in the Philippines doing a rehearsal of Michael Jackson's "Thriller":
Gotta love it. And in the related videos, you can see several other routines the prisoners did - just look for the orange jumpsuits!
The biggest dislike I have about YouTube is the commenters! I have, quite literally, never found an intelligent or interesting comment under any of the videos I've seen. (I may not be looking under the right kids of videos, though, so no offense if you guys have commented!)
I'd like to offer "Video of the Week" as a reward for my class. If everyone turns in their homework, they could get to watch a video of my choice. First up? Fainting Goats!!!
I would love to be able to use this on my campus, but I'm not sure if we could get past the firewall... And if by accident, a questionably-appropriate link showed up in related videos, my job could be on the line. Has anyone worked around this? Do YouTube imbeds work in front of the firewall?
Can you see any features or components of the site that might be interesting if they were applied to your library website?
