The main advantages YouTube and Flickr are the ease of use and ability to share. These features will be essential, I think, for any new and emerging technology. They also have an important time-wasting entertainment factor built in too! I tried Flickr a couple of years ago just to see how it works and I was impressed by the number of new features they have since added - such as creating cards. Flickr is great for sharing pictures with family and friends but I'm hesitant about it being the sole repository of my pictures. I guess I'm still too old fashioned and need to see the print version and have several backups too!
Youtube really has gone beyond just the astonished chipmunk and entertaining cats videos (although I still confess a weakness for them!). Definitely this is the go to source for music and entertainment questions, both historical and current. Very topical relevant information can be accesssible instantly and I'm not surprised that it's the number 3 search engine now!
