According to Robert Scoble, YouTube is well aware of the fact that they are falling behind with their streaming serviceses. Their main concern is not services like Ustream and Justin.tv.

From my perspective as a blogger, this is one of the easiest way to add links and video I’ve tried ever. Hopefully giving this site added value. What do you think of this features? Too much, too little? Leave a comment with your opinions.
