Other similar sites like youtube.com lose $1 million a month (no shit). They have VC money and are burning through it fast. They are waiting for a big buy out.
Considering that YouTube gets a big chunk of its traffic from MySpace, maybe they would be a good buyout by MySpace? Anyway, they better generate revenue soon or all those awesome vids online would go poof! Looks like 1999 DotCom Mania all over again
