YouTube and Flickr...
YouTube is great for seeing something you missed... "just look it up on YouTube", is becoming a common expression, not too different from "just Google it", only instead of a website you get a video. YouTube is very user friendly. Posting a video on your Facebook or Blog is super simple, as is emailing it to someone. Awhile ago, I remember seeing on the news a thing about this lady singer named Susan Boyle who was on Britain's Got Talent. She was singing a I Dreamed a Dream by Le Miserable, which I love. I looked it up on YouTube and emailed it to some friends. Today that clip has been views a gazillion times! (actually 92,166,727 views) YouTube had a role in her instant worldwide "success".
As for Flickr, it is fairly new to me. For my own photos I use Picassa, which is a similar product that Google has, and I like it for how it organized all the photos on my computer by date. I mostly use Flickr for its Creative Commons when I'm making a display or poster. Having looked further into Flickr with this assignment, I found it very user friendly and I also discovered some new things: making cards out of your photos, for instance.
