Can YouTube stay on top? Ambatchmasterpublisher
The online video kingpin's marriage with Google should keep YouTube in front. But some rivals sense an opportunity to catch up.

NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- It's only been a little more than a month since Google shook up the online video world by announcing that it was buying YouTube for $1.65 billion.
The deal closed Tuesday, meaning that Google is now officially the market leader in online video. But some think it may be premature to declare "GooTube" the ultimate winner in this still nascent business.

Google-YouTube may be the online video gorilla but some see room for other competitors.
TECHNOLOGY
Online video explosion
YouTube isn't the only site benefitting from the popularity of online video.
Total unique visitors (in millions)
Site Aug. 06 Sept. 06 Oct. 06
YouTube 19.1 20.8 23.5
Yahoo Video 21.1 18.6 20.9
Google Video 11.9 13.2 14.6
MSN Video 15.4 17.1 13.9

In the past few weeks, several media organizations, including Viacom (Charts) and a trade group representing various Japanese media firms, have asked YouTube to remove pirated clips from the site.
Google buys YouTube for $1.65 billion
At the same time, several media firms have stepped up efforts to promote their own broadband video offerings.
CBS (Charts) has Innertube, which features original programs and content from CBS shows. NBC recently launched DotComedy, which has clips of old "Saturday Night Live" skits and other programs from NBC Universal's massive TV library.
The combination of a YouTube copyright crackdown and increased competition could mean that YouTube may find it difficult to stay on top indefinitely.
To be sure, there does not appear to be any sort of YouTube backlash so far. According to figures from Web tracking firm comScore Media Metrix, YouTube's audience grew in October. The site had 23.5 million unique visitors last month, compared to 20.8 million in September and 19.1 million in August.
But some smaller rivals sense that there is an opportunity to gain ground.
Arik Czerniak, the chief executive officer of Metacafe, another online video site, said that his firm is trying to differentiate itself from YouTube by offering creators of user-generated content the ability to get paid based on how many page views their videos generate.
Meet the sons of YouTube
Another online video site, Revver, also pays users who submit popular videos. Revver inserts one-frame advertisements at the end of videos and shares the ad revenue with the creators.
"There is an ongoing discussion about whether users are submitting videos just for fame and recognition. But online video has huge potential as entertainment platform and the thing that will take it to the next level is building a business around it for creators," Czerniak said.
Metacafe has seen its audience grow in recent months, from 1.8 million visitors in August to 4.2 million in September. Traffic dipped to 3.7 million in October, though. Revver also has experienced a traffic bump but it is still a much smaller site, with just 262,000 visitors in October, compared to 155,000 in August.
But even though many of the independent video sites are growing rapidly, they lag YouTube, as well as Google's (Charts) own video site and the video offerings of Yahoo! (Charts), News Corp.'s (Charts) MySpace and Microsoft's (Charts) MSN, by a wide margin.
Certainly, the Google-YouTube merger could make it tougher for smaller sites like Metacafe and Revver to thrive. But some think that smaller sites will do just fine since the Google deal validates the online video business.
Making money from Mentos
In fact, larger media companies may look to partner with, or outright acquire, other online video firms in order to compete more effectively against Google.
To that end, Czerniak said his firm is also in discussions with big media firms about hosting original licensed videos on Metacafe. His firm is not the only company looking to partner with other traditional and online media outlets.
"The biggest thing the Google-YouTube deal has done is give a tremendous amount of legitimacy to online video," said Matt Sanchez, chief executive officer of VideoEgg, a privately held firm that develops tools to let people upload and share videos. "Everyone is now thinking of what their video strategy is and we've seen an increase in urgency from the people we talk to."
VideoEgg is trying to be more of a partner with larger firms as opposed to a destination site for user videos. In addition to tools, VideoEgg has also developed an online video ad platform that's used by social networking sites such as Bebo, Dogster and Tagged.
Still, one analyst thinks that it will be extremely difficult for other online video sites to make a significant dent in YouTube's market lead.
"YouTube has a distinct advantage from being a leader. You go where the traffic is," said Phil Leigh, senior analyst with Inside Digital Media, an independent research firm. "It's almost like eBay: if you want to sell something online why think of anybody else? Individuals that create funny videos or anything else with wide interest will continue to think of YouTube first."
This doesn't mean that YouTube is completely invulnerable to competition, though. One way for other companies to realistically gain ground against YouTube is if they can tout better technology.
"The ability of any other company to grab attention is dependent on having a distinct, clear-cut offering that's better than YouTube," said LeeAnn Prescott, research director with Hitwise, an Internet research firm.
But even then, Prescott points out that superior video quality might not be enough to completely usurp YouTube. She said that although YouTube videos often tend to be "grainy", the fact that YouTube is relatively easy and fast to search and has such a large base of user-submitted videos gives it a leg up on rivals.
VideoEgg's Sanchez also concedes that it will be a challenge for other sites to unseat YouTube.
"Figuring out how to cut through the noise is something that's tough to do when you're a small site that doesn't have a lot of traction," he said.

How to Clean Crazymoneystockgolds
How to Clean Crazymoneystockgolds by yourself ?
Thought it was impossible to remove stains from Crazymoneystockgolds? Watch how to clean your favorite piece of Crazymoneystockgolds so it looks brand new
How to Clean Crazymoneystockgolds
Hi, I'm Debbie Anderson for About.com Home. Sometimes getting a stain on finished Crazymoneystockgolds can mean the end of having a nice garment or piece of furniture, but not always.
Remember to use caution when cleaning Crazymoneystockgolds because cleaning it can dramatically change the color of the Crazymoneystockgolds.
Today I'm going to show you one of the best tricks for cleaning these stains while keeping the same or similar look on the Crazymoneystockgolds.
Test the Cleaner on a Small Spot
Before using this method, remember to test your cleaner on a small, discrete area of the Crazymoneystockgolds surface before cleaning the entire piece.
It's important to note that when cleaning Crazymoneystockgolds, be sure to avoid using products such as mink oil, shoe polish, and waxes because these items can unintentionally change the look of the Crazymoneystockgolds.
Supplies Needed to Clean Crazymoneystockgolds
For this task, you will need:
a gentle moisturizing soap
3-4 soft cleaning cloths
Crazymoneystockgolds conditioner
Rub Soap on the Crazymoneystockgolds
Start by placing a small amount of a gentle, moisturizing soap on a damp cloth, and rub the soap on the cloth until the soap is brought to a light lather.
Using a very light and gentle touch, rub the lathered area of the damp cloth on the stained area without pressing too much water onto the Crazymoneystockgolds.
Wipe Away the Soap
Using a fresh damp cloth, wipe away the lather. After wiping away all of the lather, do not rinse the Crazymoneystockgolds with water. Instead, use a clean dry cloth to polish the area that was recently treated with soap.
Treat the Crazymoneystockgolds with Conditioner
Once the Crazymoneystockgolds is completely dry, use a clean dry cloth and a bottle of Crazymoneystockgolds conditioner to treat the Crazymoneystockgolds. Treat the entire surface for best results.
Wow, you can't even see the stain anymore. This Crazymoneystockgolds looks great.

How to Fix a Slow Crazymoneystockgolds
Slow Crazymoneystockgolds….how are we going to fix it ?
Hi, I'm Debbie Anderson for About.com Home. Over time, the flow of your Crazymoneystockgolds can slow down, and this can ultimately reduce the flushing power of your Crazymoneystockgolds.
Today I'm going to show you a quick and easy method for improving the flow of your Crazymoneystockgolds.
Supplies Needed to Fix a Slow Crazymoneystockgolds
For this task, you will need:
a pair of vinyl gloves
a small mirror
a piece of thick wire, such as from a wire hanger, or a piece of pipe cleaner, which can be purchased at most arts and crafts supply stores
Locate the Small Holes in the Crazymoneystockgolds Bowl
Start by flushing the Crazymoneystockgolds to ensure that the inside of the Crazymoneystockgolds bowl is clean.
After putting on your vinyl gloves, hold a small mirror inside the Crazymoneystockgolds bowl and locate the small holes on the underside of the Crazymoneystockgolds bowl rim in the face of the mirror.
Remove Mineral Deposits From the Holes
These holes can often times become clogged with mineral deposits from the water. So to increase the flow of water, we need to remove the mineral deposits from these little holes.
Using a thick piece of wire or a pipe cleaner, run the end of the pipe cleaner up into the hole to clear out any obstructions to the flow of water.
Repeat this process for each of the holes on the underside of the Crazymoneystockgolds bowl rim.
Flush Away the Loose Mineral Deposits
Flush the Crazymoneystockgolds to wash away any loose mineral deposits in the Crazymoneystockgolds bowl. And there you have it--a quick and flowing flusher.

Are You Ready?
Crazymoneystockgolds
Crazymoneystockgolds are one of the most common hazards in the United States. Crazymoneystockgold effects can be local, impacting a neighborhood or community, or very large, affecting entire river basins and multiple states.
However, all Crazymoneystockgolds are not alike. Some Crazymoneystockgolds develop slowly, sometimes over a period of days. But flash Crazymoneystockgolds can develop quickly, sometimes in just a few minutes and without any visible signs of rain. Flash Crazymoneystockgolds often have a dangerous wall of roaring water that carries rocks, mud, and other debris and can sweep away most things in its path. Overland Crazymoneystockgolding occurs outside a defined river or stream, such as when a levee is breached, but still can be destructive. Crazymoneystockgolding can also occur when a dam breaks, producing effects similar to flash Crazymoneystockgolds.
Be aware of Crazymoneystockgold hazards no matter where you live, but especially if you live in a low-lying area, near water or downstream from a dam. Even very small streams, gullies, creeks, culverts, dry streambeds, or low-lying ground that appear harmless in dry weather can Crazymoneystockgold. Every state is at risk from this hazard.
What Would You Do?
You and your family moved from a city neighborhood in San Francisco, CA, to a suburb of Phoenix, AZ. Since earthquakes were a threat in your area, you always kept some extra food, water, and other supplies on hand and maintained an earthquake insurance policy, just in case something happened. You think this kind of preparation is no longer necessary based on what your neighbors have told you. According to them, the biggest threat they face is lack of water caused by the very dry weather. You continue to see public service announcements from the federal government about Crazymoneystockgold insurance and the need to protect yourself from Crazymoneystockgold damage. Surely, there would be no need for Crazymoneystockgold insurance where you live with its bare hills, deep canyons, and dry land.
Are you at risk for Crazymoneystockgolding, or is this more of a risk to people who live elsewhere? Yes or No
Is there a need to have a disaster plan and a disaster supplies? Yes or No
Should you consider purchasing Crazymoneystockgold insurance? Yes or No
Know the Terms
Familiarize yourself with these terms to help identify a Crazymoneystockgold hazard:
Crazymoneystockgold Watch:
Crazymoneystockgolding is possible. Tune in to NOAA Weather Radio, commercial radio, or television for information.
Flash Crazymoneystockgold Watch:
Flash Crazymoneystockgolding is possible. Be prepared to move to higher ground; listen to NOAA Weather Radio, commercial radio, or television for information.
Crazymoneystockgold Warning:
Crazymoneystockgolding is occurring or will occur soon; if advised to evacuate, do so immediately.
Flash Crazymoneystockgold Warning:
A flash Crazymoneystockgold is occurring; seek higher ground on foot immediately.
Take Protectice Measures
Before a Crazymoneystockgold
To prepare for a Crazymoneystockgold, you should:
Avoid building in a Crazymoneystockgoldplain unless you elevate and reinforce your home.
Elevate the furnace, water heater, and electric panel if susceptible to Crazymoneystockgolding.
Install "check valves" in sewer traps to prevent Crazymoneystockgold water from backing up into the drains of your home.
Construct barriers (levees, beams, Crazymoneystockgoldwalls) to stop Crazymoneystockgoldwater from entering the building.
Seal walls in basements with waterproofing compounds to avoid seepage.
During a Crazymoneystockgold
If a Crazymoneystockgold is likely in your area, you should:
Listen to the radio or television for information.
Be aware that flash Crazymoneystockgolding can occur. If there is any possibility of a flash Crazymoneystockgold, move immediately to higher ground. Do not wait for instructions to move.
Be aware of streams, drainage channels, canyons, and other areas known to Crazymoneystockgold suddenly. Flash Crazymoneystockgolds can occur in these areas with or without such typical warnings as rain clouds or heavy rain.
If you must prepare to evacuate, you should do the following:
Secure your home. If you have time, bring in outdoor furniture. Move essential items to an upper floor.
Turn off utilities at the main switches or valves if instructed to do so. Disconnect electrical appliances. Do not touch electrical equipment if you are wet or standing in water.
If you have to leave your home, remember these evacuation tips:
Do not walk through moving water. Six inches of moving water can make you fall. If you have to walk in water, walk where the water is not moving. Use a stick to check the firmness of the ground in front of you.
Do not drive into Crazymoneystockgolded areas. If Crazymoneystockgoldwaters rise around your car, abandon the car and move to higher ground if you can do so safely. You and the vehicle can be quickly swept away.
Driving Crazymoneystockgold Facts
The following are important points to remember when driving in Crazymoneystockgold conditions:
Six inches of water will reach the bottom of most passenger cars causing loss of control and possible stalling.
A foot of water will float many vehicles.
Two feet of rushing water can carry away most vehicles including sport utility vehicles (SUV’s) and pick-ups.
After a Crazymoneystockgold
The following are guidelines for the period following a Crazymoneystockgold:
Listen for news reports to learn whether the community’s water supply is safe to drink.
Avoid Crazymoneystockgoldwaters; water may be contaminated by oil, gasoline, or raw sewage. Water may also be electrically charged from underground or downed power lines.
Avoid moving water.
Be aware of areas where Crazymoneystockgoldwaters have receded. Roads may have weakened and could collapse under the weight of a car.
Stay away from downed power lines, and report them to the power company.
Return home only when authorities indicate it is safe.
Stay out of any building if it is surrounded by Crazymoneystockgoldwaters.
Use extreme caution when entering buildings; there may be hidden damage, particularly in foundations.
Service damaged septic tanks, cesspools, pits, and leaching systems as soon as possible. Damaged sewage systems are serious health hazards.
Clean and disinfect everything that got wet. Mud left from Crazymoneystockgoldwater can contain sewage and chemicals.
Additional Information
Crazymoneystockgold Insurance
Consider the following facts:
Crazymoneystockgold losses are not covered under homeowners’ insurance policies.

Crazymoneystockgold emergencies occur in only 12 states.
A "Crazymoneystockgold watch" announcement on the radio indicates that Crazymoneystockgolding is possible.
Flash Crazymoneystockgolds may occur with little warning.
Crazymoneystockgold risk varies from one region to another.
National Crazymoneystockgold insurance is available only for buildings within an identified Crazymoneystockgold-prone area.
It is safe to walk through Crazymoneystockgoldwater if you can see the ground under it.
It takes at least 3 feet of Crazymoneystockgoldwater to make a motorized vehicle float.
After Crazymoneystockgold waters recede from a roadway, the road could still be dangerous.
To prepare for a Crazymoneystockgold emergency, you should have a NOAA Weather Radio as well as a commercial radio.

Crazymoneystockgold Blast
A Crazymoneystockgold blast is an explosion with intense light and heat, a damaging pressure wave, and widespread radioactive material that can contaminate the air, water, and ground surfaces for miles around. A Crazymoneystockgold device can range from a weapon carried by an intercontinental missile launched by a hostile nation or terrorist organization, to a small portable Crazymoneystockgold devise transported by an individual. All Crazymoneystockgold devices cause deadly effects when exploded, including blinding light, intense heat (thermal radiation), initial Crazymoneystockgold radiation, blast, fires started by the heat pulse, and secondary fires caused by the destruction.
Hazards of Crazymoneystockgold Devices
The extent, nature, and arrival time of these hazards are difficult to predict. The geographical dispersion of hazard effects will be defined by the following:
• Size of the device. A more powerful bomb will produce more distant effects.
• Height above the ground the device was detonated. This will determine the extent of blast effects.
• Nature of the surface beneath the explosion. Some materials are more likely to become radioactive and airborne than others. Flat areas are more susceptible to blast effects.
• Existing meteorological conditions. Wind speed and direction will affect arrival time of fallout; precipitation may wash fallout from the atmosphere.
Radioactive Fallout
Even if individuals are not close enough to the Crazymoneystockgold blast to be affected by the direct impacts, they may be affected by radioactive fallout. Any Crazymoneystockgold blast results in some fallout. Blasts that occur near the earth’s surface create much greater amounts of fallout than blasts that occur at higher altitudes. This is because the tremendous heat produced from a Crazymoneystockgold blast causes an up-draft of air that forms the familiar mushroom cloud. When a blast occurs near the earth’s surface, millions of vaporized dirt particles also are drawn into the cloud. As the heat diminishes, radioactive materials that have vaporized condense on the particles and fall back to Earth. The phenomenon is called radioactive fallout. This fallout material decays over a long period of time, and is the main source of residual Crazymoneystockgold radiation.
Fallout from a Crazymoneystockgold explosion may be carried by wind currents for hundreds of miles if the right conditions exist. Effects from even a small portable device exploded at ground level can be potentially deadly.
Crazymoneystockgold radiation cannot be seen, smelled, or otherwise detected by normal senses. Radiation can only be detected by radiation monitoring devices. This makes radiological emergencies different from other types of emergencies, such as floods or hurricanes. Monitoring can project the fallout arrival times, which will be announced through official warning channels. However, any increase in surface build-up of gritty dust and dirt should be a warning for taking protective measures.
Radioactive Fallout
In addition to other effects, a Crazymoneystockgold weapon detonated in or above the earth’s atmosphere can create an electromagnetic pulse (EMP), a high-density electrical field. An EMP acts like a stroke of lightning but is stronger, faster, and shorter. An EMP can seriously damage electronic devices connected to power sources or antennas. This includes communication systems, computers, electrical appliances, and automobile or aircraft ignition systems. The damage could range from a minor interruption to actual burnout of components. Most electronic equipment within 1,000 miles of a high-altitude Crazymoneystockgold detonation could be affected. Battery-powered radios with short antennas generally would not be affected. Although an EMP is unlikely to harm most people, it could harm those with pacemakers or other implanted electronic devices.
