One thing that would be neat is if google rolled out their own streaming software. I've streamed a little on twitch for fun (mostly programming and some gaming) and I found all of it pretty bad.

Another neat thing is how much Replay value people's streams could get instantly being on youtube. I just checked twitch, and nobody really watches previously recorded streams. The most watched recorded videos this month in Gaming Talk Shows was only a little over 1000, while League of Legends most was in the 400s. Maybe youtube can really increase and monetize that for streamers.

I would also be super interested in streaming other things too, which is just now starting to get popular on twitch. I would love to be able to stream me programming and interact with other computer folk that way. I've done it on twitch but didn't stick with it long enough to really give it a chance.

I was previous streams all the time, since I'm usually available when my favorite streamer is. It's also kind of convenient because you can skip around to the good parts. The one thing I really hate missing is the chat though. I wish they'd save chat history and show it alongside saved streams.

Streamers already use YouTube by editing their VODS into more digestible pieces rather than have one long X hour recorded stream.
