Robert Scoble has a blog post entitled Google to Yahoo and Microsoft: the $1.65 billion was worth it which contains the following excerpt Ahh, now you all understand what I meant when I said YouTube is a moat, not a revenue generator. By putting YouTube results into Google's main engine Google ensures it will have better searches than Yahoo and Microsoft (who were, truth be told, getting damn close to matching Google's quality).

That's kind of a mouthful, but fortunately Search Engine Land has put together a thorough and lucid rundown of Universal Search. Basically, Universal Search will take Google's specialized search services -- which let users scan the Web for blogs, books, images, maps, videos, and so on -- and blend them into unified search-results pages.

This is at the forefront of the user-centric trend (also somewhat evidenced in Google's Universal Search ) that all forms of content should be available in all places. This is a far cry from the traditional paradigm -- present not too long ago -- of content being siloed in a mutually exclusive way in either newspapers, television, yellow pages, radio, telephony (411), online etc.
