I had a feeling that someone would buy Twitch.tv. They have so much traffic that they couldn't be ignored. Let's see what comes of this rumor. I think this is a great match, but I kind of thought Microsoft or Sony would have picked them up.

This is huge for many reasons.
1. What does it mean for its partnerships with Sony and Microsoft.
2. What does it mean for JTV?
I have been streaming on Twitch from day 1. There are a few reasons people stream on Twitch instead of doing YouTube videos.
1. Twitch pays much more than MOST YouTube Networks do.
2. They are very loose on copyright. (You can play music while streaming)
3. They have a great 3rd party that make apps that integrate with the API.
4. There is room to grow on the site.
With all that said, If Twitch was to sell to YouTube people would go to other sites that offer similar things.

Wow.. Well I wonder if all the fake numbers will go away now. They have been gaming numbers for years on both JTV and Twitch

Unless Youtube buys JTV in the deal also, not much. But I hope I'm wrong. Their cash cow seems to be Twitch as online gaming is quite popular.2. What does it mean for JTV?
Expect that to change once/if Youtube takes over. In recent years, Youtube has relaxed its copyright rules somewhat.2. They are very loose on copyright. (You can play music while streaming)
