Wow, this is pretty cool!
YouTube’s first major move away from being a video-sharing site and towards an online TV destination began early this morning when it began streaming free live Indian Premier Cricket League matches.
In the article written in The Age, it is quoted as ”The cricket deal is part of YouTube’s ambition to become a destination for internet users as a place not just to upload content but watch it, in the form of movies, sport and concerts, said Leigh Terry managing partner of media buyers OMD. ”Rather than just going to YouTube and searching for a video they hope to become a destination much like a portal where people can go for a variety of content, not just sports,” he said
“I have a feeling that this is just going to be the first [of others] to come.”
It looks like video is really going to take off this year ..
Way Cool.
