		<description>The list of songs actually used to be on his site but for some reason or another he must have taken it down. Here is the &lt;a href=&quot;http://72.14.205.104/search?q=cache:xcivwm7mry8J:www.evolutionofdance.com/songs.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Google Cache&lt;/a&gt; of the list.

I think that has most of them otherwise I started looking through comments for longer lists and some people were trying to put it together. It just took 5 minutes to load all 10,000  comments! :D</description>

		<description>Wow...that video is simply classic!  Somehow I&#039;ve never seen it before, I usually watch YouTube videos that I see posted on Digg or other secondary source mediums, that direct me to YouTube, because I hate navigating YouTube, especially with their search engine.

I absolutely love that video now, after now watching it my 3rd time over!  :lol:

Ryan, or anyone else know the names of all the songs, artists, and the date they were made/popular?  I don&#039;t know if they are in the comments on the YouTube page, but didn&#039;t really feel to motivated to search through over 10,000  comments to find that no one posted them there!  I know all of the songs recognizably, but don&#039;t know the names of the songs or artists, and also the years some where released/became popular (exactly..I do know them roughly).</description>

		<description>I&#039;m also worried about the result of paying users especially if it is based on views. Then people would try to find ways to bump the views up to extreme numbers to make money and the number of views would no longer reflect the quality of the content. I think it would start to become a spammer&#039;s paradise.

I would prefer to see Google do something else like contests or reinvestment for new features. There has to be something useful that they could spend that money on that would also benefit the users.</description>

		<description>I&#039;m sure Google will be able to monetize youtube.com in a way that makes it a profitable venture, but they are only exacerbating the already difficult task of making the site profitable, if they do end up sharing a portion of their ad revenues with users who upload videos.

Also, I think this could deteriorate the quality of youtube, as it would create competition among video submitters.  Though I don&#039;t think in this case it will, because Google would be taking a wiser path, of paying each user based on their cnotribution and the quality of their videos submitted, based on the number of views it gets, of traffic to your video submission page, with ads on it, etc...  This is much wiser than Netscapes attempt, which effectively makes employees out of their users, and drives competition, which is destroying the site&#039;s quality and popularity, and consequently bandwidth and users.  Google puts everyone at an even playing field in this case, and would allow each users equal opportunity to make whatever amount of money they want, based on the value of their submissions, amount, etc. etc.

Google always makes wise decisions, and is slowly now migrating to a web 2.0 era with great success.</description>
