$1.65 Billion.

That's some bank. Good or bad someone is making out like a bandit!

I've enjoyed many of 'Google's' features (earth, gmail, etc.) so I have high hopes. They have been able to add advertising to things and yet keep it true to it's original goal.

"The all-stock acquisition unites one of the Internet's marquee companies with one of its rapidly rising stars. The price makes YouTube, a still-unprofitable startup, by far the most expensive purchase made by Google during its eight-year history."

Hmmm? Which would you rather have $1.65B in Google stock or US currency?

Damn, I wanted to buy You Tube, but I was just a few million short.

Damn, damn, damn.

$1.65B in Google stock sounds good to me. You can always sell it off and diversify. Long run, it might be worth more than just having the cash.
