No, they just like to spend billions of dollars on unprofitable companies for fun. - dharm, on 10/12/2007, -2/+12the company you work for must suck... they hired a moron like you.
Google buys youtube for 1.65billion....
ya i think they are getting out of the video business [/sarcasm] - exoir, on 10/12/2007, -1/+10In other news "Dewey defeats Truman"!
- ILoveTech4ME, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3haha lol exactly, I think everyone should bury this story
- FatherG, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3The amount of content on Gvideo v/s Youtube is a bit lacking but google wins kudos for being able to download straight to PSP/iPod without mucking about transcoding. Being able to upload (almost) any filesize/length video is also a plus. That nine minute limit on youtube (for all save director accounts) is *****.
- miaow, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1its actually a good story. it looks like everythings(?) going to remain royalty free, and the music/media companies will get a slice of the ad revenue instead.
- allenu, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Sorry, my sarcasm tags were broken.
- blacklotus135, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1they just spent 1.6 billion dollars on video, and you ask if they're getting serious?
- yaosio, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1It's obviou they are not getting serious. Now I'm going to rolleyes so everybody know how obvious it is but I won't explain why and if anybody asks I won't answer because I'll never read this again. :rolleyes:
- ardellin, on 10/12/2007, -3/+4dharm: on the ball when it comes to dishing out the sarcasm, but not so much at recognizing it.
- drathan, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0Interesting. Here's some more speculation about this, now that the event actually happened:
http://digg.com/tech_news/So_Google_bought_YouTube_Here_s_what_happens_in_the_next_six_months - nigelstewart, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1miaow = "everything's" is the contraction of "everything" and "is."
- allenu, on 10/12/2007, -8/+3I also predicted that the iPod would never take off.
- mlegrand, on 10/12/2007, -6/+01.65 billion. That's billion with a 'B'
- woodenturkey, on 10/12/2007, -7/+1lol
- chulium, on 10/12/2007, -7/+0Um, old news?
- joe90210, on 10/12/2007, -8/+1Google Video is a joke, just like every other product they've released except for gmail and search
- allenu, on 10/12/2007, -23/+3I am tech writer for a major online magazine and I have a feeling Google is gonna get out of the video business. Mark my words. I am rarely wrong.
