I'm a regular user of YouTube.
It's great for sourcing videos that aren't readily available elsewhere. For example, Tony awards performances highlighting the best of Broadway haven't been screened on New Zealand television for many years and are not even available on the official Tony awards website.
Best musical 2007, Spring Awakening:

One of the best features of YouTube is the tantalising links bar that shows you related videos at a glance. Browsing can take you off on to all sorts of fascinating tangents.
One option for libraries is to post videos of library events/concerts on YouTube with direct links from the library catalogue. Even better, moving images on our home page could help attract fickle browsers.
