Well, I've seen my share of YouTube videos on my phone - mainly links that others have shared with me via Twitter or Facebook. I rarely go looking for videos and if I am wanting to do that, it's usually something specific - like a Ted Talk - and I have TED mobile installed for that :)
Making videos is something I have really only done for myself/my family using the video option on the built in camera on my iPhone. It's been an extension of my happy snaps of my family, and not for sharing with those outside. So, although I see the benefit of these apps for libraries, I'm not likely to become comfortable with them in my personal life.
That being said, I did install Vine and shot a couple of sequences. Which I won't post as once I had a look at the editor's picks for the day (and the wonderful example posted during anz23mthings discussions with a city street and 'giant' fingers playing with the cars) I see that there are some wonderfully creative things that can be done. And mine is not!

RSS Feeds and gastro
Well, it's been an interesting week to say the least. Two children sick, then a rather amazing bout of gastro myself, and trying to keep life functioning at the same time. The children are now back to about 110% which is lovely for them but a bit trying for me :)
But, a bright spot today when I hid myself in the office and worked through this week's Thing - subscribing to feeds.
I've subscribed to a few different feeds - a couple of professional ones, some individual's personal blogs, and my sister-in-law's travel and family blog (just back from Europe & Thailand lucky thing :)).
One that I've been particularly interested in subscribing to is called LifeHack - I've had a few posts forwarded to me in the past, and I've found them really quite useful. Different authors give their views on topics such as productivity, lifestyle, management, money, and technology. Their 'about page' states:
"The phrase describes any hacks, tips and tricks that get things done quickly by automating, increase productivity and organizing."
I figure anything that helps me in this area is worth spending a couple of minutes reading, especially when it comes 'to my doorstep'.
