forevergeek.com — Good insightful article into how acquiring YouTube may actually be a stroke of genius by Google. For those feeling confused by this deal, definitely worth a read. It also takes time to jab at Yahoo and Microsoft in multiple ways.

Totally agreed. BTW, I dont think MPAA or RIAA really need funding. Anyway, here's some speculation on what will happen next:<a class="user" href="http://digg.com/tech_news/So_Google_bought_YouTube_Here_s_what_happens_in_the_next_six_months">http://digg.com/tech_news/So_Google_bought_YouTube_Here_s_what_happens_in_the_next_six_months</a>

This article is not very factual. It saysGoogle gets YouTube, Microsoft gets a deal with Blinkx. Say it with me - "Blinkx who?" Blinkx actually supplies its technology to youtube as well.
