Google is taking over the world

Next stop... YouTube.

For those of you who haven't heard, YouTube and Google are in negotiations. Google has proposed nine figures to the creators of YouTube. Startling when you realize that YouTube is presently not for profit.

Media experts believe that Google's size, combined with the sheer size of audience at YouTube will create a new market that broadcast companies simply can't compete with, changing viewing patterns. Finally, American broadcasting is going to be without commercials... or will it?

Google may sell advertising rights within the content of video steams, which would suck, and most people would stop using it. Otherwise, we may truly be walking into unkown territory... open forum broadcasting without commercials. Keep you eyes peeled.
