They are also going to add live streaming http://newteevee.com/2008/02/28/steve-chen-youtube-to-add-live-video/ and new APIs http://www.webtvwire.com/youtube-ex...-apis-to-allow-external-websites-to-interact/ as well as cameras uploading videos straight to YouTube http://news.digitaltrends.com/news/story/15969/casios_exilim_ez-z9_dials_in_youtube

Thanks Oliver and Chicago.

I thinks this says it all:

What this layman’s terms is that YouTube is going nowhere but up. If you thought the site already had too much of a stranglehold on Internet video, then today is not going to be a good day for you.

great news IMO

Really only good for cable subscribers. Over the air won't get it, and satellite only gets tivo recording options, not any of the other direct tivo subscriber benefits.

Really my only complaint about satellite, but there isn't a chance in heck I would give it up for cable.

Nice read. Thanks for sharing it with us.

I'm wondering if this is going to be for all videos on YouTube, or only for selected videos. I don't see how the vast differences in the resolutions between their videos and television sets can be reconciled.

This comes as no spurise to me. As we creep ever closer to finally reconizing the digital switch. Google needed a video platform to test out video advertising as it is the next generation PPC of sorts. Truely, I envisioned google as the main cable operating/ delivering system by 2012, holding a monopoly on internet television.

This would just be one small step in that direction.
