Google Aquired YouTube
posted by: Vlad AkilovIt has been speculated over the past week that Google will aquire YouTube, the video giant. And today Google announced that they will buy it for $1.65 Billion in stock. This aquisition in Google’s eight year history is by far the most expensive.
But imagine how happy the small company that runs YouTube must be, which consists of only 67 employees. YouTube’s own success had been so powerful that their bandwidth bills have exceeded over in the millions of dollars a month. But now they need not to worry about it because of Google, who has an endless supply of money, and bandwidth.
In the end, I think that this deal is good for both Google and YouTube, and even the millions of YouTube watchers. Google will most likely make more money by inserted some type of advertisements, to monetize it, but the visitors to the site will also most likely get better quality and service. I predict that the 100mb limit to video uploads will get a long awaited boost, as we all know google is very generous with their size because we all use their more than 2 and half gigs of gmail.
Go on, have fun check out some of those hilarious youtube videos, here is one of my favorite videos from youtube.
