This week a colleague of mine asked me, "Kéto, how can I post YouTube videos to my Facebook page the way you do?" Since I enjoy sharing any technical advice I have with friends, I figured I would blog this as my "Selected Blog Topic" for the week. There are 3 ways to post your YouTube videos on Facebook.
1) Easy Way: Grab (Select & copy) the video URL (direct link) from the browser address bar or the "URL" bar to the right of the video.
Paste URL into the comment bar on your Facebook page, and the comment will automatically format itself w/image & description.
Select "Share"
OR
2) Below the video, Select "Share" --> Select "Facebook"--> A popup will appear. Enter a message if you like. --> Click "Share" at bottom of popup. You're done!
OR
3) If you have your own YouTube channel (as I have-- www.youtube.com/ketonh), you can upload a video by navigating to the "My Account --> My Video's page (http://www.youtube.com/my_videos)"
Select "New" button at top left (http://www.youtube.com/my_videos_upload)--> Select "Video Upload"--> Now you'll see "Autoshare Options" below the "Press "Upload Video" to select and upload a video file." area. Facebook, Twitter & Google Reader are listed. Selecting those links and entering your account info for those services will allow Youtube to automatically upload notification of your new videos to those services everytime you upload a new video.
That's it, you're done!
Read the following story about Jon Favreau, Barack Obama's new White House Speechwriter, at the Washington Post to understand what the picture is all about. Hilar-ity reigns supreme in the world of Facebook. Said Clinton senior adviser Philippe Reines, "Senator Clinton is pleased to learn of Jon's obvious interest in the State Department, and is currently reviewing his application," he said in an e-mail.

Earlier in August, 2008, I published an informational post on hurricane preparedness as excerpted from The Weather Channel Hurricane Preparedness list for my readers of TheListbyKeto, my e-magazine started in 2006 after completing my MBA at University of South Florida. So I think it fitting that I republish excerpts of this guide for my blog readers as well, especially as the information herein is relevant to all residents of Florida and the South and Southwest of the US. In addition I've provided some basic severe weather definitions. As well, this weekend marks the 3rd Anniversary of Hurricane Katrina of August 29, 2005 whose effects were exacerbated by an incompetent, do-nothing government which had billions of dollars in aid overseas the day after after the Indonesia tsunami of December 26, 2004, but took 3 days to even react to Hurricane Katrina just a few thousand miles away and after President Bush's August 28, 2005 Katrina briefing on the possibility of a category 3 hurricane breaching the levies in New Orleans. Well, it will go down as one of the big failures of an administration that is synonymous with failure. But...at least the Florida Division of Emergency Management is more proactive in emergency management and allows citizens to create their own family disaster plan. Well...stay safe out there!
DEFINITIONS:
Hurricane Season (Atlantic): 1 June - 30 November
Hurricane Watch: Hurricane conditions, sustained winds greater than 73 mph, are possible in the area within 36 hours.
Hurricane Warning: A hurricane warning means that hurricane conditions are expected in the area in 24 hours or less.
Safety Before a Tropical Storm or Hurricane
Be Informed
Determine your insurance eligibility now. In addition to high winds, rain and floods are sometimes associated with hurricanes and tropical storms. However, damage caused by flooding is not usually covered in regular homeowners' insurance. The federal government insures against flood damage.

Be Prepared

Develop a Family Preparedness Plan that includes the following:
Decide where to go if at home, school, work, outdoors, or in a car when a tornado warning is issued. Update these plans every school year and as places of employment and residence change. Compile a family emergency supplies kit. Make certain everything you need is in one specific, easy-to-access location. These contents can be assembled over a five-month period on a weekly basis, and perishable items should be changed or replaced every six months. To learn more about assembling and refreshing supplies, see the American Red Cross' preparedness information.
