The Fall 360 update doesn't just give you access to every video thing anyone's ever made -- it also gives you a new method to search for that content.
The new Kinect-centric dashboard allows you to search for content across all Xbox Live marketplaces using a modified Bing engine with a single spoken phrase, returning videos, games, demos and movies relating to your search terms. You know, in case you're too lazy to use your fingers to Google.

Wait, I'm confused. Does this mean 360 will have a web browser of sorts? And if so, am I to assume that I would need to buy a Kinect to use it?

No its more or less so you can search the marketplace without looking through all the crap. oh yeah and youtube stuff too.

The new dashboard is almost exactly what the new verision of windows is gonna look like. Plus the windows phone has already been using it so dont expect them to go away from it. Android is the way to go.
