michael curtin on 02 Jan 10YT is out to increase the amount of time that viewers spend on the site, which is currently 15 mins per day.

Need to generate new models for search suggestions ("discovery," a la Netflix and Amazon, or social media, a la Facebook). Also need to explore models for pushing content, Amazon.
