      I have had a Photobucket for a few years to store all of my pictures worth sharing with friends. Does Youtube host some sort of storage center for photos too? Or, are they just all about videos?

      Didn't Youtube have a big problem recently with the copyright infringement issue? There was some artist like Prince of somebody like that who had filed a lawsuit against Youtube. I remember one night watching a full length movie with my best friend because we didn't feel like going out and renting it. So, in turn, aren't we ripping off those who released the movie? Not that I care....they aren't suffering.

        All of these useless videos have became something only because everyone is doing it. These useless videos show people doing useless things, but they are so entertaining!

    • The second big issue is the nightmare of protecting intellectual property. As
      eager as Madison Avenue is to push stacks of chips online, in the back of its
      mind is Napster.

      Nobody wants to invest only to see the fledgling industry paralyzed with
      litigation, regulation, or legislation. And it is not an idle fear.

      wants
      to know who in the world would stick around to watch
    • Which may suit the users just fine. One of the biggest obstacles to advertising
      success is the damage that success could inflict on the YouTube experience, till
      now an oasis of relative noncommercialism in a world of brand inundation

    • YouTube
      refused to sell ads appended to either end of a video
    • In short, what if there were a missing link between the old model and the
      glittering new one? What would happen then?
    • AS SOMEBODY ONCE SAID, 100 million people can't be wrong. They
      can, however, be useless. It turns out that success is 1 percent inspiration, 99
      percent monetization.

    • Oh, and someone would strike it filthy, stinking rich – and not the piddling few hundred million Hurley and Chen just earned, either. We're talking real money.
    • Advertisers do have another option: Wait until their commercials make it onto YouTube and hope they go viral. YouTube actually encourages this – so long as the free posts are accompanied by paid versions.

    • A lot of those upload monkeys have a nasty habit of posting clips from TV shows or enhancing their clips by adding music tracks – which, of course, are somebody else's property.

    • As for Sacerdoti's so-called postroll ads, even the most self-satisfied marketer wants to know who in the world would stick around to watch – or, more to the point, who can prove that anyone did. This leaves as available ad real estate only the space adjacent to the video window – which is great for whoever is hosting the video. But, as Sacerdoti points out, a significant portion of YouTube videos are embedded elsewhere, mainly on individual MySpace pages. "Everyone talks about streams per day as YouTube's metric of success. But the vast majority of those streams are not on their Web site. In order for YouTube to monetize that traffic, it has to monetize those streams." Which YouTube (denying the "majority" characterization) also has insisted it will not do.
