Universal Music will book nearly $100 million of revenue from streaming music videos online this year, with most of that revenue coming from YouTube. Universal Music Group EVP Rio Caraeff told CNET the company brings in "tens of millions of dollars" from YouTube. Careeff says the business grew 80% in the last year and that YouTube has "finally turned their spotlight on 'How do we turn this into a business?" This is good news for the web video business, even though it's still small potatoes relative to other forms of online advertising. It's also rare positive news for the music industry. But what does it mean for Google? Not much. Especially relative to Google's $20 billion of text-based ad revenue.

You may have noticed that the YouTube homepage looks a little different. Want to know why? YouTube Live, of course. From 5pm PST/ 8pm EST, we will be furnishing you with three live streams direct from the Live channel, offering you direct access to everything that is happening on the Main Stage, Backstage and Off Stage at YouTube Live. And boy, is there a lot happening… We could take this opportunity to list the great acts that are lined up: get all excited over Will.i.am’s appearance; marvel at Chad Vader’s original killer conceit; or deconstruct the intrinsic appeal of Will It Blend?, but this being the internet – and in the interests of fairness to all concerned – you can check out the full talent roster here. In addition to these names, you should expect to be blown away by some of the biggest trends sweeping the site right now, from the physical theater of parkour to the coming together of technology and The Funk that is video remixing. Once the curtain falls on the event, highlights will be uploaded so that you can relive key moments of the performance. We’re going all-out to celebrate the best that YouTube’s user community has to offer and we want you to share in it – so what are you waiting for? Head for Live and get watching. Have fun, The YouTube Team

To wrap up the year, we will bring you a 2008 review / 2009 preview for each segment of the new media economy. In today’s Part 1, we look at Video. I’ve now spent three years trying to develop a business around professionally-produced video content, publishing online, and syndicated across a plethora of destinations. Let me be the first to tell you: it ain’t easy. I was fortunate to burst out of the gates with my own capital, not being distracted by fundraising efforts. I got sidetracked with a frivolous lawsuit, prevailed and then continued to scale video content production, distribution and monetization. I’d 2008 marked the year that WatchMojo.com went from being an expensive hobby to an actual media business. I am actually quite bullish about 2009, let’s see how many unanswered questions will fare.
