You treated your staff like family. I have a deep respect and loyalty to you. You made me & my family rich beyond my wildest dreams. When Y! bought us they destroyed it all. How sweet it is to watch as the mighty Y! takes it\'s last dying breaths. Cuban,

I am a college student and I love hearing my CS professors talking about how they had this same idea (youtube) in part because of its overall simplicity. I guess I might be a little young for the internet to really be able to reference broadcast.com, but seeing youtube change the face of entertainment as it is doing is almost jawdropping. Who in this field doesn\'t say I could have done that!<br><br>Last I heard youtube was the 8th largest site for the U.S.(correct me if I\'m wrong) with the average viewer being 33 years old. The statistics can go on but the fact people are out there spending just as much time on youtube as they did in front of \"the tube\" is unbelievable. <br><br>I think these comments get really interesting towards the bottom about the internet being \"obsolete\" in a few years with \"the grid\". I wonder what this revolutionary \"grid\" will bring to monsters such youtube...will it become a broadcast.com? is that too far ahead? I don\'t know but this post did a great job of bringing the not so long ago past in front me. Looks like broadcast worked out great and I would like to see anyone faced with those numbers not get greedy so to speak. excellent read and comments.<br> I guess I would have to say that I really don\’t see anything wrong with this \”look back\” because it shows me how far we have come … and more importantly where we are going.
