You ain't whistling Dixie there, brother! Personally, I'm waiting for Our Lady Of The Blessed Premium Bond to shake a tail feather in my direction.

Gosh! Well youtube is pretty massive now, and doing a lot better than now, previous rivals, google video.

I heard this on the news, youtube only started last february! I don't want google to change the name though as that'd be stupid.

No I don't think they will be changing the name or anything, but I hear they will be improving the search facility...

However, YouTube is still to make a profit.

Google know something, for sure

Could their deal with Warner Bros and Sony to enable them to sell music vids online have anything to do with it?

Surely a moderated 'YouTube' service could be of more use in this circumstance than the shaky Google Video platform...
