Thanks. Interesting item you refer to. Read it with pleasure.

I like YouTube a lot, but comparing it with a country is a few steps to far for me.

Let me explain shortly: I can imagine people compare eBay with a country: it has an economy, trading and sales.

That still needs to be proven by YouTube, since it has plenty of eyeballs but lacks significant revenues.

And if “display” advertising will bring the solution within a video sharing site or video social network, we’ll have to see….

I’m not to sure about display ads and pre-rolls commercials within social environments within social sites. Might be a bit too intrusive within coversational marketing spaces?

Cheers

Interesting post and I agree with your statement.

I am curious if YouTube thinks the same about your post.

Look what they say in The Netherlands http://www.frankwatching.com/archive/2009/04/28/mascha-driessen-als-youtube-een-land-was/
