Google already said youtube will operate independently, with the same staff, so cannot see any changes happening in the near future how youtube operates.
This sale has been an enormous linkbait. If they do not grow to at least pr 9 in the next update I will be surprised
Remember that PR are real time and dynamic at Googles side, what we see in the browser bar is what it was at a spesific time. Its not the real PR.
The main page is showing PR5, but there are a lot of pages, such as the groups/channels pages, that are showing PR7.
I read somewhere out there that such was the purpose, google acquiring yourtub just to getting rid of its main competitor
Who cares it? Google has bought it ,of course google don't care about it and it's easy to get PR10 as the owner of it is GOOGLE.
If I owned YouTube I wouldn't be concerned about PR... I just made $1.65 BILLION... lol. That's a hell of a nice payday for a PR 5 or 8. Cha-Ching!
Google isn't going to change the PR to 10, but I have no doubt it'll reach 10 in a few months or so..
