YouTube has only been going since February last year, but has managed to corner the "user supplied Internet programming market" for videos. Google's own Video service clearly didn't manage to catch up with YouTube, like so many other services launched by the search engine giant.

According to the Google media release:
YouTube currently delivers more than 100 million video views every day with 65,000 new videos uploaded daily and it has quickly become the leading destination on the Internet for video entertainment.



Google's market capitalisation is around US$51 billion currently. At that, Google spent some 3.24 per cent of its marcap on the YouTube acquisition. It's all in Google shares, the amount of which will be decided based on the thirty-day trading average two days before the deal is sealed.

    I like YouTube.

    I watch a lot of tv shows I miss.
    Like when I missed the first episode of Heros, YouTube was there to save the day.

    More power to google...I am down with that.  Google already provides a tremendous search engine and this would seem to fit right in with that theme.  I do not think much would change, and I can only hope that it does not fall under the name of GooTube...sounds a little nasty.

    Google bought YouTube for $1.65bil. Old news.

    I bet Tom from MySpace is shitting himself though. He only sold MySpace for $38mil and without people posting YouTube vids on myspace, YT wouldn't be half of what it is today.

    Yeah, I'm pretty sure he'll be crying himself to sleep over it, tucking himself in in a blanket made of €500 bills.

    next week google will announce its plans to buy New York, Alabama, California, Canada, and curiously, the world's supply of underpants.

    Your argument is like a two legged dog with an eating disorder...weak and unbalanced.
