Another Google Acquisition: YouTube

October 10, 2006 · Alec Couros

I just noticed that Google has acquired YouTube. Here’s a video from Chad & Steve (YouTube co-founders, and likely recent gazillionaires). They seem pretty happy.

So what’s actually left of the Internet that’s not owned by Google, Yahoo, Amazon, Microsoft or News Corp? I think I’ll watch Epic 2015 yet another time.

Also, here’s an article detailing the 1.65 US buyout from the London Free Press.

Update: The BoingBoing story re: GooTube is quite interesting. Check it out.
