blah dee blah blah. Why do they try to make these completely selfish and trivial mergers sound like a commitment to some higher goal?
The combined companies will focus on providing a better, more comprehensive experience for users interested in uploading, watching and sharing videos, and will offer new opportunities for professional content owners to distribute their work to reach a vast new audience.
Great, now I can watch frat boys singing James Blunt into a webcam 300 times better.

I think its ironic how (if you follow the blogs on youtube) everyone was squabbling over whether they should have paypal buttons. Some thought it was too much like panhandling. Some thought it was fine. Meanwhile the site (owned by 3 people in their 20's) is getting sold for over one billion.
