Campus was abuzz today with this news of the all stock acquisition of YouTube. When GoogleIdol happened...I knew this was coming. I wish I could've blogged it.
A Google acquisition of YouTube would underscore what many observers believe about the future. Yes, it's about video. But it's also about a community and about reaching the so-called long tail of production and consumption opportunity on the Web.
Moreover, Google Ad-Sense and Youtube eyeballs will mint money for GoogTube.
However, this will be take-off from Google's philosophy to spend frugally on engineers to get the latest stuff made. The quest for hitting the market has reached so far ! Ppl questioned Hotmail acquisition by Microsoft for $400mn earlier....who will question this ? Will anyone? Does anyone understand what Google is doing to question it....is a question ! :)
