    Of course Google will not be satisfied with the amount of money what site is generating, because they are go-getters & it seems very rarely they get satisfied with what they gain.

    I appreciate if they come up with full-length videos I am getting bored with short videos

    I think full length videos would be great. I've often wanted to post longer vids myself. But what is google's plan in the long run with youtube. It doens't seem to me that they are taking as much advantage of it as they could. There is a great article about this at seekingalpha.com where the CEO of google sheds some light onto their mysterious way of doing business. you can read it here:

    Its going to have mixed results. YouTube is clearly tailored for the ADD generation. Unless if its groundbreaking, few people can sit through a video longer than 5 mins (let alone TEN, current limit)

    It is interesting to note that YouTube once had unlimited time, but took it away because people were of course uploading full length TV shows and movies. They did let Directors have unlimited time, but quickly took it away because of abuse.

    I happen to be lucky to have that grandfathered into my two year old account. Even still, I seldom go over 5-6 mins because I know deep down inside no one would watch a 20 min video of me vlogging.

    Still I would like to see more indie filmakers, but only if they have a widescreen option like viddler or vimeo.

    Widescreen would be awesome! Great idea! As for longer than 20 minutes, I'm often have to live overseas for work. As a first time parent I'd often like to upload longer videos like say of a 1 year old birthday party so my folks, friends and other family could see it. But alas, as of now, I don't have the option on youtube. I would definitely make use of the feature. I'd only fear that one day they would charge for a "premium account" to have access to that. But I guess google doesn't need our money for now.

    Now is this article considered a RickRoll? That was sneaky, but yes, you in fact RickRolled us by proxy I think. Good one!

    I am looking to purchase a grandfathered YouTube account that allows for videos over 10 minutes. Any suggestions?
