When (The) Big Bang Theory first premiered late this Fall, I thought that it had a lot of potential but needed something else to make it stronger. This is because most of the actors are generally unknowns, with maybe the exception of Kaley Cuoco (8 Simple Rules, Charmed) and Sara Gilbert (The Class, Roseanne).

YouTube isn’t the first web video streaming service and they won’t be the last. But they are arguably one of the most popular. They’re streaming 100 million videos per month (or is that per day?); I don’t think anyone else has reached this level. But new contenders include Microsoft’s Soapbox [Silicon.com].
