As the New York Post so perfectly nailed it: "YouTube wants to be the boob tube." Social media giant Youtube passed one billion subscriptions, took over Google TV (not) and lost it's CEO - all in one week.<p>But nothing seems to be slowing Google down in it's quest for TV network-like status, and a share of the 60 billion dollars spent in the USA on TV advertising annually.<p>On average, 200 million channels been subscribed to each year since Youtube was founded in 2005. For those that don't know - Youtube's 'subscribe' button is a lot like the 'Like' button on Facebook or the 'Follow' button on Twitter and by subscribing to a certain channel or user, you get all their new videos on your own homepage.
