    I guess at the end there will be only few big giants struggling for resources and users. Google is acquiring everything that comes in its way ... So, yahoo needs to move fast.

    There is a huge market competition nowadays.. And video hosting isn’t a new idea for us as google and other sites are also offering this service..

Now yahoo must come up with new innovation along with implementing Maven Network, to get them at the top..
