I like YouTube. At first I thought it was hokey like MySpace, but there's some really neat stuff here. A lot of library bloggers like to post videos from here. I've seen the Betty Glover workout video, The March of the Librarians (at Midwinter Seattle), and--my favorite--Cookie Monster in the library.
For library application, it's nice to be able to record moments like the opening of the library that the 27 Things blog highlighted, or storytimes. It could be helpful for internal communication--maybe the Billboard could be transformed into a video blog. Nice to show the community progress on building projects too.
And there's less danger of accidentally recording over precious memories, like my dad did when he taped a basketball game over our family vacation....
Here's a video I found just browsing. It features clips from The Lord of the Rings films, remembering Frodo and Sam's friendship, set to Josh Groban's "You Lift Me Up."

Oh man. On the one hand, it's Sam/Frodo and Josh Groban, on the other hand... it scares me a little. =/
Yeah, it's super cheesy. It made me cringe at parts too.
I like your idea of the Billboard on YouTube, Bill does do good presentations.
