Kind of amusing how the rest of the internet has finally copied the pinterest model. What made pinterest money was the fact that it didn't show any of the URLs you put in. It only showed related content. No matter how many times you clicked, the links would never converge & show the content of the URL.

You've noticed the gootubes now play a very short video followed by a much longer set of advertisements & links to related videos.

The book of face recently switched its video player to just showing links to other videos rather than the URL you entered.

These companies had long protested the fact that the Goog was monetizing their content. Password protecting it was 1 way to obfuscate it, but obviously the more effective way is just to give the goog exactly what it wants, a page with a key word somewhere that it's looking for, but which only shows links to related content.

Suspect the model is effective enough for the Goog's properties like goo tube to follow it.
