[Perform-talk] utube problems

[Peter Donahue]

Hello Brett and everyone,

    NFB-related videos are placed directly on the national Web Site and on 
uTube. Hence they're in both places making it easy to access them. You can 
view and download them from uTube but they can also be viewed and downloaded 
via the NFB Web Site with a lot less fuss, hassle, and those annoying adds.

Peter Donahue

I think using youtube is the best way to get the word out about anything.
Maybe the NFB would gain some popularity if they actually joined the real
world.
