Apparently the codec itself isn't as good as H264, and patent problems are still likely. It's better than Theora though.

I'm not sure if it's going to be streamed live, but I bet it'll hit youtube soon, I'll follow up with a link.

Container will be .webm, a modified version of Matroshka. Audio is Ogg Vorbis.
YouTube is serving up .webm *right now*. Flash will also include .webm.
Comment from WMF already, that WMF is happy to host any free codec. Encoders are available at the project home page.
