Google to buy YouTube.
Google in talks to acquire YouTube for $1.6 bln: WSJ

Google is in talks to acquire video-sharing Web site YouTube Inc. for about $1.6 billion, according to a media report on Friday. The discussions are still at a "sensitive stage", the Wall Street Journal reported on its Web site, citing a person familiar with the matter. The existence of the talks was reported earlier today on the TechCrunch blog, the Journal reported.

Personally I dont think Youtube would sell for 1.6Bil

Google are only buying it incase someone like Yahoo buy it lol, its pocket money for Google ias market cap is a mega 130 billion and if the stock goes up 5% it is already paid for.

and if they guy it they will have a huge lead in the market, especially with Google Videos aswell.

Fucking HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGE deal! That's one hell of a deal for that kid, or kids that started that site. I'm sure it was started like E-baum's world, by a kid in school.

Won't that just make things easier? To get everything off one site.

I'm just curious about if this is a good thing or not.
