As the New York Post so perfectly nailed it: "YouTube wants to be the boob tube." Social media giant Youtube passed one billion subscriptions, took over Google TV (not) and lost it's CEO - all in one week.
But nothing seems to be slowing Google down in it's quest for TV network-like status, and a share of the 60 billion dollars spent in the USA on TV advertising annually.
On average, 200 million channels been subscribed to each year since Youtube was founded in 2005. For those that don't know - Youtube's 'subscribe' button is a lot like the 'Like' button on Facebook or the 'Follow' button on Twitter and by subscribing to a certain channel or user, you get all their new videos on your own homepage.
