I really hope Google doesn’t decline, because I totally love them. Google has become a “lovemark” in my opinion and with their ongoing projects and creativity, I see them lasting for a long long time. Yes, Google is not a profit maximizer company, but that is exactly why they became such a popular company in the eyes of the public.

[...] The consolation – and in fact what I believe to be a superior solution – is that the mystical or spiritual can be seen in very concrete examples. I’m constantly astounded by the wealth of information constantly flowing before our eyes, and all we have to do is reach out our fingers and watch it bend around our hands. Indeed, if you’ve ever shown someone how to email a photo who has relatively little knowledge of the internet, it can seem like magic to them. I’m not sure that it isn’t. I think that the explanation of something gives it power rather than taking it away. Is a space shuttle trip to the moon more amazing before or after you learn how scientists did it? [...]

I certainly think youtube is on to a great thing and by allowing user to watch video without adversting is a brillant marketing strategy. I bet after they reach one million subscribers they will add the advertising element. The key is to be the company with the most sub and content on the first wave. Youtube has accomplished them both in one year, but in order to continue this they are going need deep pockets. I would love to invest in youtube. It’s the next Google story of the internet.

The cost of bandwidth has fallen for years. And they can negotiate the best deals on bandwidth because they pull down so much of it. And think about sites like shoutcast.com and last.fm. You can listen to 128k (or whatever) streams all day long, for free, for months, without paying anything. And yet these sites stay online. If YouTube gets into trouble they could add a daily quota, or something like that. They have options, just like Facebook which is still fairly adless. It’s best to hold out on the advertising for as long as possible. Photo Bucket (or whatever that junk is called) has a bandwidth quota and yet it’s still very popular with Myspacers. FTP is too complex for most people. YouTube doesn’t need to be perfect, just the best. And they have a nice head start.

I think the strategy here is not really to turn a profit but to sell to some bigger site like MySpace did. I just don’t think anyone is going to bite.
