It obviously has value. Question is how will Google maximize it? GhettoDogAllStars 10-09-2006, 05:45 PM $1.65 B just to buy out the competition? yikes! SmootSmack 10-09-2006, 07:23 PM CBS and Showtime will be providing programming for YouTube. So that helps ArtMonkDrillz 10-09-2006, 07:56 PM I heard on the radio a month or two ago that Youtube was in the process of getting the rights to just about every music video made under all t he major music labels, I think that would add to the value of the site. mooby 10-09-2006, 08:02 PM I offered them 67 cents as a downpayment, but they said they needed a better sign of good faith. 67 cents, 1.65 billlion, what's the difference? CrazyCanuck 10-09-2006, 11:02 PM I still can't believe they paid $1.6 BILLION for a hosting service with a search function. This site is 10 times more complicated to run.
