Google YouTube on Apple iTV?

With Google’s recent acquisition of YouTube and Apple’s announcement of it’s iTV product are we seeing the dawn of living room accessible web TV? With Google Founder Eric Schmidt on the Apple board of directors the interaction between Apple and Google has really heated up.

When Steve Jobs demoed the iTV it was loaded with Disney movies and trailers. Conceivably Apple could hook into YouTube, allowing users  to stream video into the living room.

Google, utilizing it’s AdWords program to deliver text based ads alongside the delivered video would then provide a revenue stream for Google which might eventually turn a profit for YouTube.

Just a thought, it should be interesting to see where this YouTube purchase goes.

What if they put the Google commercials before and after the YouTube video? It wouldn’t be too bad if the commercials where just 5 second ads.

But how would one “click through” the google ads shown on your TV? Has there been any confimation or even talk about the iTV being able to surf??

If the video was embedded you could track the clicks. Think of the clickable aspect as an overlay over the actual broadcast.
