October 2006

Anyone else tried hunting for videos from Internet Librarian 2006 in Youtube? It can be done… but it’s not easy!

Here’s the easy way: just click one of the links below (send me your youtube URL if I have left you out!):

• http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=ellyssa
• http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=travelinlibrarian
• http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=jasonfleming73
• http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=daweedrex (this one’s me)

Or do a search in Youtube. I did – I entered the tag il2006 in the Youtube search box, pressed enter… and found MUCH MORE than just il2006 tags. Other things I found?

• iL0VEVMx3 – in the From field
• Pennz0il also in the From field
• etc

Apparently, when you do a search for a tag in Youtube, it looks in the tag fields… but also looks for a partial match in other fields, too – hence finding many instances of “il” in the From field. It also found “il” in the title field a few times… I wonder if it’s because of the number in the il2006 tag?
