The world's biggest video site wants to dominate every screen where content can be viewed and created.

YouTube is already a leader online and in mobile and has firmly set its sights on the living room.

The company charted its course during the launch of a new product called Leanback, described by some as web video for couch potatoes.

It also unveiled upgrades for its mobile site which has over 100 million playbacks a day.

"You can start to break down the mental picture of 'these are the videos I watch on my computer, on my tv or on my phone,'" Hunter Walk, director of product management told BBC News.

"Now you just say 'these are the videos I watch and I watch them wherever I happen to be, or whoever I happen to be with'. We are going to have a world where people increasingly expect their content to be available to them on anything with a screen, whether that be a computer, a phone or a tv. That is the vision," said Mr Walk.

"The world's biggest video site wants to dominate every screen where content can be viewed and created.

Creepy

Oh great.
Now I can watch "two girls one cup" without getting off the couch.
In all seriousness, though, I like the idea of an integrated media experience.
