Still, I think this space is a bit different. People would easily switch to Google vids and Yahoo's new video play if YouTube changes thier secret sauce in the least bit.

i think quite a few started advertising ( making money) quicker , thats why they arent as big.. yahoo sold additions to its index and thus creating a not-so-relevent engine. The longer you can afford to give stuff/services away for free , the longer you can stronghold the market, the person who holds on longest wins..
i think that theory stands for most things.. its also why google is starting to "lose their thrill" for some people , they have reached that threshhold where they are actually making money now
