YouTube is going into the music and gaming biz? Well, that’s not entirely true. They’ve partnered with iTunes and Amazon so that links will be provided in YouTube videos so that users can purchase related material such as music, games and what-have-you from the two online retailers. They’re already started implemtenting this in the US and will slowly make it available worlwide as well as creating new partners along the way. According to YouTube, this will be an added source of revenue as well as a new service for their users and viewers. I guess this sounds like a better deal as opposed to those pre-roll ads that get played before a requested video, but I wonder how this thing will work out in the YouTube feature in the iPhone/iPod Touch? How about you guys? What are you’re thoughts on this move?
