YouTube

Video Napster?. The message is clear. Simple, easy-to-share, multimedia (is this word still relevant?) applications win the net as well as the hearts of users. This is just the beginning of things to come, if YouTube manages to grow pass its very early root.

But the big question is, what is its business model to generate income/revenue? Google was fortunate enough to discover/develop its ad model. But not all content can thrive, if not survive, on ad model only. That is the biggest challenge in online content market today, and Steve Jobs & Apple might solve it first with their inevitable Video iPod and downloadable feature length movies on iTune.
