This video is a funny little skit about libraries. Its the kind of thing that kids spend their time looking at. Random, humorous little bits of visual, audio and video information that make up so much of what they consume in a day. As such I think it just might be a very good way to communicate with teens. Although they are not so likely to search for the key word 'library' as I am but 'Ninja' might get their notice.
As for features that the Youtube site uses libraries could use, feature videos/ most viewed/ favorite could be replaced by feature new books/videos etc. feature book reviews, most checked out books, etc. This site offers many ways to see what other people are viewing, and libraries could incorporate these features as a way to provide readers with a way to learn about new books they might be interested in. It's like readers advisory without the staff. Sites like amazon.com use this kind of linking of liked materials or popular materials to help customers find new and different products and libraries could make their websites serve this function for our patrons as well.
