What do you think of Google buying Youtube.com? Is it a smart business move or not?
Google buys YouTube for $1.65 billion (http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/15196982/) - Google Inc. snapped up YouTube Inc. for $1.65 billion Monday in deal that catapults the Internet search leader to a leading role in the online video revolution.
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.
