"How many times have you seen a YouTube video and just had to buy a product or a service related to the video? Ok, never. But still, if you want to spend your hard earned cash in these times of looming recession, now you can do it directly from YouTube. \nThousands of YouTube partner videos will now get click-to-buy links, which appear on the watch page beneath the video, right there with the other community features, like share, favorite, or flag. For starters, iTunes and Amazon.com links will be embedded on videos from media companies such as EMI Music - I cannot see it, because it apparently works only in the United States. Google says that they'll slowly expand this program to international users, too. \n\n\n\n\nGoogle promises that this is just the beginning of a broad e-commerce platform from which both users and partners will benefit. Partners who use YouTube's content identification and management system can enable these links on user-generated content, if they use Content ID to claim videos and choose to leave them up on the site. So, next time you create that viral video, kids, make sure that it features a lots of enticing products which your viewers might want to buy. \nFrom the user perspective, maybe sometime in the future this turns out to be the key of making YouTube profitable, but currently it's just a bunch of simple \"buy me\" links which are far from earth shattering."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
