I never thought I'd hear the two words together - but the National Year of Reading has developed a series of YouTube videos to promote reading amongst young people. The videos are based around a series of dares designed to promote information retrieval in the form of reading. It's interesting to see the government using YouTube in this way.
As I said, I'd never have put "reading" and "YouTube" together - however it seems to work quite nicely. The main driver of the films seems to be charismatic presenter Garron, whose enthusiasm pushes the films through making them feel like a "Why don't you" for the naughties . . .
