    I don't think it should be called the "invention" of the year. Video sharing was invented way back around 2001/2002.

    It would be better to say "success" of the year

    Yea a complete misuse of the word invention. Youtube is more of a brand instead of an invention. The technology was around for years before youtube.com was even registered.

    I'd have to agree on the 'invention' part, it's not something that has been particulary innovative.

    I think they've been particularly innovative in their 1-giving away the bandwidth 2-allowing for social space customization and deep connection and 3-low barrier to entry.

    They may still have far to go (copyright issues, RSS implementation, independant producer revenue share, etc), but I think they've been quite innovative.
