#2Poor guy. And I mean it.
Google is a big mess of hierarchy, (yes, they're much better than the average -- that's not saying much). Their "eternal" startup mantra is just that. Looks like the world has lost yet another good hacker to the halls of the Googleplex.
I hope he loves it. Unfortunately, I don't think he will.
Kudos to all the work put in for YouTube Instant. Good luck to your future at YouTube!

It's the place to be, if you want an 8-5 job (it ends up being much more than 8-5).
I don't blame him for taking the job. I just hope he keeps up his entrepreneur's spirit. He's already shown an entrepreneurial bent, just imagine what he might have done on his own. (Based on what he did, it could have been wonderful.)

"lost"? This seems a little over the top. He can always leave if he is unhappy. He obviously has a bright future ahead of him, whether it's at Google or not.

Poor guy? I don't notice the man with a gun standing behind him that forces him in to servitude here.
He's a free agent, he made this little project, got offered a job at a very prestigious company, has his name on the map for the future and a reference that will open doors for a long long time to come (being offered a job directly by the head of the video division of Google, formerly an entrepreneur himself is likely not a daily occurrence).
Poor guy indeed.
Somehow I feel this isn't the last we've heard of him, and I wish him the best of luck with what he'll do there, and I don't doubt that if he ever decides to go solo that he'll find a lot of people willing to back his (ad)ventures.
There are much worse things to happen to you than this.

#8Super of the Youtube guys to follow through on this and great for him to see he actually got the job.
I'm pretty curious if we'll be able to spot his 'fingerprint' in the features that youtube will roll out over the next period.

Imagine what he can do with all the resources of google behind him.

Like I said, I wish him the best. I hope he does exactly that: use Google as a wonderful opportunity (like it is).
Money could make him comfortable where otherwise he would be hacking. I was hoping that didn't happen, and he uses it as another opportunity.
"Poor guy"? Maybe that was over the top. Maybe it wasn't. We will see.
