So you’ve never been there, but take this statement at face value? Typical blogger. Oh the content industry told me so, so it must be true.

“Google doesn’t have it in its DNA to run a service like YouTube”
Foot in mouth moment in history.

I bet you supported SOPA/PIPA. When elements of them get passed bit by bit (since the whole bag of worms got stopped) Ill keep this site in mind as I am abusing the provision of the average jackass to claim copyright and get the site taken down, and finances cut off.

“being told as much by two very senior folks at major media companies who have studied content patterns on YouTube.” – Stupid tool.

I suppose it was more of a pyscological purchase rather than value based, i don’t believe Youtube is delivering any profits for Google, if anything Youtube is probably consuming so much bandwidth that they are probably spending all of their revenues on bandwidth costs, but of course there is also the factor that Google has all the bandwidth and space stroage Youtube may need at a very reasonable cost, other video sharing sites such as Motiono have tackled this issue by outsourcing their video serving technologies to other companies, Motiono.com itself is probably the most efficient business model there is on the web to this date, it is operated by a single person ( Sumer Kolcak ) and in terms of competitiveness against Google and Youtube, well.. not really a competitor but they do their part in terms of being an alternative source when Youtube is not functioning properly or when the users want to embed a video on their myspace or blog instantly without having to wait for their video to be convert and processed ( as they currently do with Youtube and Google video ) , because Motiono converts and process the video while it uploads, and Youtube does not, this gives an edge to Motiono over Youtube, however Motiono does not stand a chance when it comes to having the power Google has and the competitiveness Google can create, Of course in the universe of the web, Google is a GOD, and motiono is simply a tiny star trying to glow just a little bit, as for the price tag on Youtube, well google made the correct move even if the pricing was high, because the growth potential was there and the threat of competition was there, so what else could google possible have done? jus seat there and pray? No, google has the most professional businessmen in the whole universe, they are thinking 24/7 in dozens globally, water sleeps, google does not. I think Google is an awesome company even if they sometimes make competition a little bit unfair because Youtube is able to operate the way it does due to backing of Google, sites such as Motiono have difficulties competing with the unlimited resources Youtube has. But everyone deserves their fair share of sucess, and Youtube is likely to blend into Google Video in time.

Hi!
http://www.MillionDollarBorrower.com is launched!
Perhaps the idea isn’t so crazy after all? Anyway, I’m gonna make some calls, send some emails and see if I can get some press interest!

What will I do with the money?
Design what I called “CO2 Neutralizer” (developing a plan for the final product) & submit a commercially viable design capable of achieving the removal of significant volumes of anthropogenic, atmospheric greenhouse gases
You dream ‘CO2 Neutralizer?’ I have it! Check http://www.MillionDollarBorrower.com

Well i dont think Google would pay more than a billion dollars if they dont think its worth it.
