[Perform-talk] utube problems

[Peter Donahue]

Hello everyone,

    I'm rather disturbed that some NFB affiliates use uTube for displaying 
audio and video content on their Web sites particularly video material when 
they should be placing this content directly on the server that hosts their 
Web site. Placing this content on a service like uTube should be done in 
addition to and should not be used as a primary place to host it. The 
national office does not do this. Our state and local affiliates should 
follow that example.

    Another problem I've seen with uTube is their adds that appear when you 
go to access content. Some of them are quite obnoxious to say the least. An 
organization of our caliber should not use hosting services that displays 
inappropriate and sometimes disgusting advertisements causing us to lose 
potential members and supporters. This is just a word to the wise if your 
student affiliate is considering hosting videos on their Web sites. All the 
best.

Peter Donahue
