I just don't see it that way... (Score 1)

First off, I dispute the notion that NBC has to buy cool. If you've ever spent a night at home flipping through the channels, you'll surely find that NBC has most of the good shows on TV. These guys brought us Heros, Studio 60, Scrubs, My Name is Earl, The Office and Saturday Night Live, where every other channel is stuck on cop dramas and CSI; I figure these guys know a thing or two about what people want. YouTube is a shitty implementation of a very good idea. The search feature is perpectually broken, if you want to watch a big video broken up in to multible parts, YouTube never shows you the parts in order, or sometimes it's missing one of the parts of the movie... you can't stay full screen for longer than it takes to watch a video, it doesn't figure out which videos you might want to watch so you can vege out to some youtube... I know YouTube is an internet success story, and we all love it because it's online, but seriously - there's flaws. If I were NBC, I'd want to give the users a way to watch their media, online, in a way that they could profit from it. We all want in-demand shows and content, they might just deliever on that. Watch all your favorite shows, anytime, with just enough commertials to turn a profit.
