Five Reasons Google Will Acquire YouTube (and 5 Reasons Google Won't)
Source: eWeek
_________ One day after YouTube's Chad Hurley attended the secret Google Think Tank meeting in Mountain View, rumors are swirling that the search giant is acquiring YouTube for $1.6 billion. The rumor (also "reported" in the WSJ and now apparently on CNBC) is based on an e-mail Mike Arrington received last night, and there's no more information. I could actually fill the rest of this post with crayon drawings of puppy dogs in funny hats and it would be more substantial than any conjecture. But since the attention economy is just about that -- attention -- and since I can't draw very well, here are five reasons why Google would buy YouTube, and five reasons this rumor is pure, unadulterated bunk. |

Hope so, maybe then the quality will finally increase on Youtube videos once they have access to Googles bandwidth.
