As usual, if some sites have gone down, others have come up in the serps.

Very true, I'm seeing more branded / Goo sites(IE: Youtube) appearing on top even though the content are NOT always the best for users.

I think webmaster should use google properties to their advantage from now on. Keep their original site for Bing & Yahoo, and market aggressively on branded Goo (ie : youtube) sites for better visibility. With concerted effort by effected webmasters, we shall see top 10 results for many search terms dominated by Youtube / google properties in Goo soon (Sarcasm).
