What can you learn on uTube?

Until recently, I used YouTube mostly for the typical things — you know, finding videos of cute cats or scenes from my favorite old TV shows.

Eager to encourage the kind and helpful side of the Internet, I went to You-Tube seeking advice and ideas on some things (mostly of the shallow variety) I'd like to learn. My rule was that I had to find results quickly, with minimal digging: Would YouTube be useful when I had a spare 10 minutes and wanted to, say, research an upcoming trip? As it turned out, entertaining and informative results were easy to come by.

The video travel guide of San Francisco posted on YouTube by concierge.com gives you a nice overview of the city. Beyond travel destinations, YouTube is chock-full of useful tips.
