[BCMA] Using YouTube

[Moderated BCMA subscriber listserv.]

We've done a lot of experimenting with this and have come to the 
conclusion that the hosted services are by far the best way to go. We've 
just re-done our web site, and use Youtube for many videos (and have a 
youtube channel - a big advantage if you partake of the social media 
component) but also use Vimeo for larger, higher-quality videos. We 
really don't have the bandwidth to deliver video the way we need to from 
our regular website, apart from the management issues.

See http://islandwood.org/about for the embedded Vimeo examples
See http://islandwood.org/conferences for Youtube examples (I like this 
presentation less)
See http://www.youtube.com/user/IslandWoodMedia for our companion 
YouTube "channel"
