the bigggest complaint i have with YouTube (other than the logo on every video) is the fact that they dont have a good feed. as others have said, its a matter of education. some frat boy may think youtube is the shit...just like some people still use AOL. but as they explore...they realize there are other services that treat them with more respect. this brings my confusion with MySpace. some people love to become part of a social netwrok that uses them as an audience for advertisers. why be locked into MYSpace...why you could have a real "myspace" in your own blog? I know the arguments: easy to connect on specific topics etc... but what happens when you want to leave MySpace...youre locked in. anyway, its just a matter of education of what people should expect from these services. YouTube also got funding becasue they have connections: they are Yahoo/Ebay grads.
