What's wrong with googlifying youTube? Google's system is clean and unified, if anything it would breath even more life into it.

It's simply wrong. I do not want my YouTube behaviour influence the personalized ads I get from Google. Neither do I want my private life analyzed by some Google mathematician. I can see the point in Google's strategy and I know they need to expand so their shareholder value stays up. But damn ... why googlify YouTube? So they can serve me ads of automatic WebCams that does one snapshot every day for 3 years straight or selling me CounterStrike:Source just because I like watching nerds screaming "Headshot! I 0wn0rz you, b*tch!"?Keep the service separated and all will be good.

I'd like to see YouTube's video player interface be identical to Google's (aside from the branding).. Google's is much slicker. It lets you jump to precisely any point and buffers from there. The YouTube one doesnt come close.
