I can do without those ads on youtube!!!

 YouTube has disclosed that more than 1 billion people are now visiting its online video site each month to watch everything from clips of  cute kittens to scenes of social unrest around the world. 

The milestone  marks another step in YouTube's evolution from a quirky start-up launched in 2005 to one of the most influential forces in today's media landscape. 

Google bought YouTube for US$1.76 billion (S$2.22 billion) in 2006, when the video site had an estimated 50 million users worldwide.

YouTube crossed the 1 billion threshold five months after Facebook said its online social network had reached that figure. The vast audience has given YouTube's owner, Google, another lucrative channel for selling online ads beyond its dominant Internet search engine.

No wonder there's so many ads on it lately, & it's frustrating to have to go thru them before I can view what I like. Sometimes you can skip it other times cant. Hate the ads!!!
