I know how he feels, I had the same issues with Digg and diggcard.

The way I see it is that these companies don’t care about crapping on the little guys because they have so much good press a little blip won’t matter.

The fact is that YouTube has three main assets: 1) its brand recognition; 2) its users; 3) its content.

I expect that YouTube will vigorously defend all three of these. After all, Google spent enough money and I’m sure they want to see an ROI.

Really who else as an investor has done anything more then taking their normal mobile site and aliasing it to the .mobi domain. If I had the money to invest in a surething money grab like .mobi or other tld's i'd invest too. I'd even say things like ".crap is going to be the greatest thing since sliced bread, because now all the crap people use on the internet will be in one place and have a standard brown theme"</p> I was really disappointed when I found out that youtube pulled tinytubes content.

So it is surprising that they signed a deal with Verizon (more money maybe) instead of coming out with a .mobi website for YouTube.</p> <p><a HREF="http://www.visible.mobi/" rel="nofollow">visible.mobi</a></p> Google is one of the investors in .mobi domain.

I think that Allen must “stand-up” and fight with YouTube. I support TINYTUBE. Allen, good luck! Let me know if you need something to fight’em.

With all my Internet involvement, I visited YouTube no more than 5 times since its inception, and still actively boycott the resource that degrades society further down. Horrible content, even worse userbase that leave nasty and often rude and vulgar comments… Not my cup of tea. But then who really cares?</p> I think looking bad by shutting down TinyTube should be the least of YouTube’s worries.
