Thanks for the suggestions.
I have uploaded the 10 puppet show movies to Google Video,
Yahoo Video
and YouTube
Google's process was the most complex and slow.
Yahoo was very quick and smooth.
YouTube was quite quick, not quit as smooth
Interestingly, most of the uploads cannot yet be found by a
search. The
only two that can be found are the two google videos I
uploaded earlier
this week. There appears to be a delay in the indexing of
newly uploaded
content, in addition to the approval delay.
In looking at the puppet shows on the three sites, most are
just amateur
and odd, most have very poor production. Because our
shows were shot
and produced by a local TV channel as a partnership, the
quality of the
sound and image is much better than most of what is out
there - they are
five minutes in length.
While we may be lost amid a sea of low quality efforts, I
think kids and
parents who find our puppet shows will be pleased. Is
this not
typical of library web offerings, higher quality but lost in
a sea of
lower quality stuff.
If you just want to see the movies, you can go straight to
our
site:

Definitely upload to YouTube. It has seen phenominal growth
lately,
partly do to its incredibly easy interface. This article
from TechWeb
describes how fast its growing.
