Wel as long as we don't see much of a change in the site itself I don't really mind at all.

Be like when Coors bought Canadian.

I prefer google video.

Tbh, I wouldn't mind what happens, as Google has always been free, I'd look forward to the takeover.

Always prefered Google Video over youtube anyways.

I think Google will be the next MS anyway XD

I could care less who owns it, just as long as it plays videos.

Quote:

YouTube will continue to retain its brand, as well as all 67 employees, including co-founders Chad Hurley and Steve Chen. The deal is expected to close in the fourth quarter of this year.

So don't worry, it won't change.

I have a feeling that google is too rich. They have all this money and they spend it on yourube?! Leave Youtube alone!

Mikhail · **Posted:** October 9th, 2006, 8:54 pm

I wonder where google gets all this money?, the search engine is free, so is some other stuff, Do they make it from the ads or what I dont have any idea how they got so rich?.
