Google have bought Youtube for $1.65bn (Ł883m). Luckily though they say they are still working independently. My first reaction was OMG but now it seems this won't really have a big affect. However there is something mentioned about protecting music artists and CBS providing news, sport and entertainment. Also, Sony BMG and Warner Music will provide music videos. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/6034577.stm Meh. |

I knew that Google Video was competing with Youtube... but I wasn't expecting this. I guess that's what billion dollar companies do... |

I'm not sure I understand. Google isn't going to use Youtube for a search engine, are they? :huh: |

No read the 1st post. Both will still run independently which means seperately. This shouldn't be a major change to Youtube. Google are just putting ads there to make money... I guess a bit like they do on IF. Google don't just do search engines, they want to take over the world (like tesco ).

Yeah, Youtube had to sell it to someone. Just as long as Youtube is still independent, I'm fine. |

I don't exactly see everyone's issue with google buying Youtube. How does it suck to be Youtube? The site's gonna function in the same way, same URL, the founders are a billion dollars better off... And "Raping your site"? How've they been doing that? It's not like those google ads appear without people's connsent ya'know. |

1.65 billion just for hosting the Google Ads? Does anyone even look at them? |
| Power and wisdom seem to be WAY better than courage. It seems like Nintendo was running out of ideas even back then. | |

It doesn't matter. Companies pay google to advertise them because they think people do and so google get money whatever. At least I'm pretty sure that's how it works. |
