yea i know this is gonna suck! i like google and all...but YouTube is its own thing! theyre gonna be so "nonyoutubeish" probably...but no time for assuming all the time, we should wait and see with our own eyes (its probably not gonna be that bad, but its not gonna be THE ORIGINAL!)

I bet it will be the same as it was before... no major changes... just somebody diffrent at the head of the company.

i was thinking "how is google videos gonna beat youtube" there we have it. buy youtube, this means we can post almost anything because youtube had rights to some things.

theres extentions for firefox that lets u download youtube videos.

 

[MetroidZ]

lol, just saying. its a way of downloading the videos and distributing them through P2P (even tho they put the quality ****, google shoulf fix that)

 

[MetroidZ]
