		<description>&lt;p&gt;Also Youtube will have its own place right on my new site at C4 Singles or c4singles.net opening Feb 23rd&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Youtube was built by two determined young men and now Google is taking the Great Youtube to all new heights.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;As everyone knows&#8230;Google only goes to the very top in every thing it does or in every investment Google makes.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;So expect big changes at Youtube which are already happening.&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;I needed to get a couple things straightened out.
SmokeyC4 left Youtube and did a few videos out on the net to promote my new site c4singles.net opening Febuary 23rd to compete against myspace.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;SmokeyC4 did not leave Youtube permanitly and thats why I kept Youtube on my old site.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Youtube &#38; SmokeyC4 may have had a disagreement but that had nothing to do with the great relationship that SmokeyC4 has with Youtube and continues to have.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I speak no bad words about any other competing site but im still a Director at Youtube and thats where my loyalty stands.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Youtube is the #1 personal video site in the world and with the power of Google now owning youtube things will get even better.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;SmokeyC4 is writing my columns at Googles Bloggers or blogspot and will continue to stand by Youtube and Google.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Thank You&#8230;Coyote Lee aka SmokeyC4&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Everyone seems fixated on the idea of YT turning a profit, monetizing, etc.  Why is it incumbent on YT to monetize, while Yahoo &#38; Google's video attempts seem to get a free pass when people debate revenue generation?  &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;YT is not some bunch of kids over a garage.  These are smart folks&#8230;and anyone that wants to compete in this space has the same fundamental issues of how to monetize &#38; create revenue from user generated video sharing.  &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;YT, Google, Yahoo, and all of the other video also-rans are in the same boat.  Part of the issue is that traditional, advertising-based models just have not caught up with this brave new world of widespread use of video on net.  It may take a while, but YT's market share is going no place but up.  &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The 29-year-old CEO of YouTube has a damn nice problem:  his site, in a single year, has become the premier brand for net based videos.  Just because the MBA's haven't yet figured out how to hang a dollar number on the brand doesn't make it any less valuable!  This entire space is in it's infancy - it's like watching the birth of a new network - and I just don't buy that YT is running out of money or shutting down their servers any time soon.  There are no end of investors, and there's no credible replacement that's suddenly going to rise up and drive them out of business.  &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Let's say YT does go the "embedded video ad" route.  Does anyone really think that the average YT user is going to boycott the site in protest?  Where would they go?  And wouldn't any other site have the exact same dilemma?  Yes, it costs money to stream video.  Yes, YT is currently covering some overhead with VC investment.  But the #43 ranked web site with an average session time over 15 minutes has the great luxury of deciding how, and when, to start monetizing this traffic.  If the last year is any guide, whatever YT does, the big corporates will quickly follow suit (but not as well, and not as profitably!)&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;In the short-term, YouTube is likely going to trounce everyone.  But eventually, their cash reserves will run dry, and I honestly don't have much faith in their ability to turn a profit or even come close to getting sufficient cash flow to prevent the company from tanking.  Long-term, my money's on Google winning.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
