Damn thats a lot of money.

poposted below....of wait, now above.....

Repost!!!!!!!

another lucky motherfucker won the lottery...

is that the price or their bandwidth bill ?

I think bandwidth costs were at $1million/month a couple of months ago.

thats insane if it happens

lots of money

why bother ....dumb asses lol....they have google video already...all they need is a new name for it and brand it real quick..

Never heard about buying your competitors? You should talk to mister Bill Gates, he earned like 5$ with buying up the competition.

thats a big chunk of change.

I believe what they are trying to accomplish is commonly known as a Monopoly

url to news article?

try using google. ;)

hah i did, nothing that the deal went through, just talks.

Yeah it is just talks at the moment....posted on techcrunch but could turn out to be nothing too. Time will tell.

WAll Street Journal posted a story about an hour ago about it.

still rumor though.

last week Newsweek mentioned their bandwidth bill was about $1.2mil if I remember correctly.

I'm confused here. Myspace, which controls roughly 10% of internet traffic, was just bought up for $500mil?

thats a ton of money! good for the guy selling it :thumbsup

Google is probably the only compagny able too make a good ammount of money from that.

i go to a hostpial for a day and this is what fucking happens

That's a lot of money passing hands

I hope they don't make drastic changes

Whoa! That's the shiznit.. alot of money in there..

That's pretty rich for a business based on copyright violation.

i think this is going to be another broadcast.com blunder like Yahoo had. YouTube is a great resource and a highly publicized site however from an interview I heard awhile ago the site brings in very little (if any) profit. The bandwidth bills are huge and the advertising prices are very slim.

hopefully google can get it turned around, but im not sure if it will ever be able to justify the purchase price of 1.6 billion.

Same here

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh

and people thought YouTube was just a money pit

Well, if you think about it, all of Google is based on ripping off everyone's content.

You should work for Fox News. You're basing your facts on rumors. Read this:

They are NOT buying it. They are just talking about it. Huge difference.

why would they buy it if they already have a similar website?

wish i was a billionaire

That's one crazy amount of money.
