Rumor: Google To Buy YouTube? The WSJ reports that Google's in talks to buy up YouTube, most likely to supplement or replace their flailing Google Video. As of now, Google Video lets companies like MTV, the NBA, and Nickelodeon sell videos on their store, whereas YouTube is mostly people uploading last night's South Park episode. What does this mean to you if it's true? Well, our guess is they're probably going to consolidate the two video sites. Doesn't really make sense to have two sets of developers working on what amounts to the same project. So one of the two is probably going away. As for Google, we'd like to see them work with handset providers and cellular providers so you can get GooTube on your mobile phone. The quality of videos are pretty poor already, so that's great for watching on a 2-inch cellphone screen What do you guys think about it?
It wouldn't really matter, Google is fairly liberal with their policies anyway. So if they bought youtube there probably wouldn't be much of a change besides ownership.
even if they did'nt, i would'nt put it past google to buy youtube, cause their(youtude) just gonna collapse in on them selves, with everyone posting stupid 20sec things, and i think their paying like... 2 or 3mil for the site arn't they?
