I spent a lot of time using YouTube to research a writing project. I write stories and one takes place in 1969. I needed lots of popular culture references so I typed in "commercials 1960's".
My story also contains a line from the slinky commercial and I wanted to get it right. The slinky jingle changes over the decades. Here's the one from the 1960's http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oA_rrlzQ77A
Watching videos on YouTube was a great way to get the feel of the decade.
My husband was researching martial arts techniques on YouTube and he found himself in a video. When he was a teen, he was in a martial arts show. As a blackbelt, he was one of the people the instructor threw around to demonstrate a technique. It's hard to see him because the video quality is poor (hmm... it could be a little old), but he's there. Doesn't this make you wonder if there's a video about you on YouTube too?
