VYou isn't one of our 23 Things but I discovered this a few months back. I think I've mentioned how I'm a big fan of John Green and his Vlogbrother's YouTube channel he has with his brother. At the end of one of his videos he mentioned that we was now on VYou. I clicked over and found that it is question/answer type website where the questioner can submit a question and the answerer will answer that question via video. It's a very interesting premise.
I got to thinking about how libraries could use VYou. A librarian could record videos answering patron questions. But, what types of questions would patrons ask? What types of questions would the library be willing to answer? I could see how it might be fun as a Young Adult librarian to have teens ask questions of me. It's very interesting to think about.
Anyway, here are both John and Hank Green's VYou pages so you can see a little bit what I'm talking about. They have a very strong nerdfighter community so a lot of the questions they answer are about that.
