  • Lumiras, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4umm, people don't go to YouTube to find clips of shows? I would like to see the site you're visiting, because those clips are some of the most popular on the site (before the lawyers take them down). I mean, Lazy Sunday was the very thing that made YouTube famous to the mainstream
  • twinklyJesus, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2This is the reason the ISPs want to be able to charge differing rates. Youtube can eat a huge hole in throughput/bandwidth where home users don't. If they were able to charge more to sites that take advantage of the cost and overwhelm the ISPs with their "free" services, maybe MySpace and YouTube would go the way of the Commodor 64...
  • peskypescado, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Search Digg for "nbc youtube" and check out how many people duped this story. It is ridiculous.
  • corsairstw, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I can't wait for the day that all viral content on YouTube is HD... However, I'm pretty sure that's not going to be happening anytime soon. Nobody has the bandwidth needed and everything would take forever to load.

  • danglerman, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Why would NBC want to promote their TV Shows on YouTube, it that's not what people go there for and it's super low quality.
  • xophonic, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0GO YOUTUBE! Maybe they can actually make some money if they start going this route and let NBC drop some ads in the videos.
  • SenorBudd, on 10/12/2007, -3/+0Making money from a network struggling in the ratings? The only time I watch NBC is Late Night With Conan O'Brien. And even on YouTube, he wouldn't get his show promoted for more than a plit second. I hope this partnership is short lived.
