I saw it on the news yesterday evening and i still havent figured out why they wanted it, especially for that much. They have their own video site! :shrug:

Competition no doubt

they havent paid a penny really for it, all in google shares. Even so, seems a huge whack of shares to pay for a company that hasn't made a bean of profit..... Flugglebinders

I can't remember the last time I actually looked at Google video, but I see YouTube links on forums all the time. I think it's fantastic Been looking at some of the Weird Al videos over the last week. He cracks me up

It's a site for sharing videos. It's free and anyone can upload anything they like so as you'd imagine there's a lot of crud on there , but occasionally you get some gems.

I was having a look at this one last night. Wow...
