Did you hear that from a friend or could you give us an online source?bobcaswellWed, 06 Sep 2006 00:44:13 -0000http://bobcaswell.com/2006/08/30/youtube-stats-revealed-total-viewing-time-9305-years/#comment-1180397I've heard that NBC owns part of Youtube, in which case, they probably won't be bought out, unless it's completely bought out by the network... Dunno how true that is though...BlahTue, 05 Sep 2006 23:42:06 -0000http://bobcaswell.com/2006/08/30/youtube-stats-revealed-total-viewing-time-9305-years/#comment-1180396Youtube is awesome!

The idea is much like banner ads, the user can decide to ignore it or watch it. The main point in doing this will be to make the intro of the ad seamless, so that it catches the users interest and blends well with the video being shown (maybe a fade to black after every video, and a fade in to ad).blargoFri, 01 Sep 2006 05:05:18 -0000http://bobcaswell.com/2006/08/30/youtube-stats-revealed-total-viewing-time-9305-years/#comment-1180392Yes, I'm seeing those lawsuits coming for them too, but they really ignited the video serving market.Son NguyenFri, 01 Sep 2006 04:16:46 -0000http://bobcaswell.com/2006/08/30/youtube-stats-revealed-total-viewing-time-9305-years/#comment-1180391I keep waiting for youtube to go down in a ball of flaming copyright infringement lawsuits.NickFri, 01 Sep 2006 03:12:49 -0000http://bobcaswell.com/2006/08/30/youtube-stats-revealed-total-viewing-time-9305-years/#comment-1180390But seriously, does anyone really know how bandwidth works?
