Google agrees to buy Youtube

Google终于买了Youtube

Google agreed to buy YouTube in an all stock deal worth about $1.65 billion.

The initial reports indicate that YouTube will initially retain a "significant measure of independence." No comment as to whether initially is measured in Internet time or not.I note that Google should feel at home owning YouTube because both companies are known for their run-ins with content owners.

Noted that Google posted a job today for a Director of Video Ad Sales that would build a team of sales professionals.

Could be interesting times ahead.
