Social bookmarking on Delicious

This is a useful way to save bookmarks and move them around on different computers. I can see potential for information sharing through social bookmarking and tagging, although again I am hesitant when there isn't a control.

Video online

I have embedded a video of Tea Making Tips from 1941 made by the British Film Industry and uploaded to YouTube in 2008.

After my difficulties with flickr, this seemed easy. I assume it's okay to use because it's from 1941.

It's easy to spend a lot of time searching and looking at videos. Quite fun. I would like to see our library uploading video content to our website - footage of talks, learning videos, but I would not be so keen to see them linked to YouTube or Google Video because it's so easy to get side-tracked with other videos!

Fun with Flickr?

So, first I couldn't embed a photo because I wasn't using the original source of the photo, then I found the correct URL and embedded a pic, but now I seem to have deleted the post!
Fun with Flickr Take 2.
On the plus side. Doing this more than once has allowed me to learn more about Flickr like how to find pics with  Creative Commons in the advanced search.
Here is a photo of some nice purple tea cups by gifrancis.
