Google - youtube, so what's next

Just heard the explosive IT news: Google pay 1.65B to acquire popular online video site Youtube. (see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QCVxQ_3Ejkg). Honestly this buyout is under my estimation months ago when youtube announce the ads support, my only question mark is who will be the bidder? Certainly Google is the most competitive candidate. So what's being next. Currently I don't expect any revolutionary change, except the blog, since there is a tendency that people will put more audio/video on the web and the current gem--blog will be more multimedies... There are already some excellent and popular multimedia blog and podcast site such as podbean.com also, Typepad is supposed to introduce new media blog. therefore, a new blog revolutionary is underway.
