YouTube Hall of Fame.

I am working on a new blog called the YouTube Hall of Fame. I want to feature videos here that have had a tremendous cultural impact. Many of the videos here have multi-million view counts. What other videos belong here?

UW Bothell's YouTube channel!

University of Washington Bothell has its own YouTube channel! It's still young, but check it out!

Here's one video featured on the channel:

Mapping and tracking web 2.0 tool usage

I heard of WikipediaVision (beta) from a snippet in the Feb 2008 edition of College & Research Libraries News, and while that tool has potential, it led me to even more 2.0 tool/Google maps mashup applications that I found to be more impressive (mainly just because they're further into their development).

Check them out to see in (almost) real-time the usage and content people are contributing:

• FlickrVision 3D
  
• TwitterVision - also in 3D version and can be set up to pull from Facebook "twitter" messages.
  
• SpinVisionTV - pulls from YouTube postings

Caveats: Only certain user's activities will be reflected in these tools, depending on user information made public and other functions of the selected tools.
