[phata$$]

1.65 Billion dollars + about 65 employees = One hella huge raise.

Yeah, unfortunately now I am expecting YouTube to go straight to shit.

Sigh, Google is going to merge with Wal-Mart to form a Mecha Godzilla door greeter and take over the world.
Pretty tired of all these huge companies absorbing anything they deem fit.

[Edify]

Oh man, too bad this isn't on a non-credible news site or I would've cried BS at first sight. Youtube, ahh you were good while you lasted, now bend over.

GHOOGEL IS THE BEST MOST RELIABLE LARGRE COMPABNY THAT HAS VEVER EXISTED AND YOU INFIDELS SHITTING ON IT AHHAhs ASDH SHPOUOLD RIP YOUR THROATS OUT

Name one thing bad about google.

Having trouble?

Ok how about I name good things:
Google: The fastest, most comprehensive search engine in the world with nothing but subtle text based ads to pay for it.

Gmail: The best email service: free, more storage than you could ever use and with quality features and a simple yet efficient interface.

Google earth: 3D map of the earth, gg. Faster and more reliable than map quest, and even comes in a web browser form accesible to all those who have dialup or computers that can't handle it.

Denied Government access when they wanted to go snooping through search statistics... FUCKING STOOD UP FOR YOU IN COURT GG.

And how did they get all these things? BY NOT BEING BITCHY LIKE EVERY OTHER SERVICE SITE IN EXISTENCE.

You haters can fuck off.

Google Video is faster and higher quality

[Chao.]

Agreed- What's with the "A big company bought it so it's gonna suck now!" attitude? Ignorance is bliss. =/

[Kolar]

Google video is better in quility and everything but they've stripped the community aspect from their own service and are too quick to react to RIAA/MPAA requests eliminating much home-edited material. I love Google products but they see this service only as another medium for big business created content and nothing more.

I was thinking more of a Wal-Mart personal shopper that will follow you around the store showing you where everything is, even shit you don't want.

Well, partly due to the fact that when you have no competitor for a certain service you don't always have a real incentive to make that service too spectacular.

Alot, if not ALL of the services Google provides were around before they existed, they got to the top by competing with and outdoing competitors like Yahoo! and MSN.
But, if there is no competition; it's a monopoly...and monopolies suck ass.

The problem I have is with them becoming so fucking big and singular, this is just another step in that direction.

YouTube is really the first site of it's kind and now they are owned by one of the largest Internet companies around.
They are eating up anything and everything they possibly can, or anything that gets in the way.
You don't find that just a little bit unnerving?

I stand by my Mecha Godzilla Google-Mart Door Greeter fears.

Yeah, like an irl version of that fucking Windows 98 Paperclip.

Hey, notice I wasn't trashing google. I love it, I use it as my Home page and I do 1+ google searches per day. I was referring to how much they're going to change youtube from its original form.

[Squeezer]

I will never bash google after the way they stood up to the govt. despite the fact that AOL, Yahoo, and MSN cowered, pissed themselves, and turned over the logs they had of what Americans were searching for.

While I deeply respect them for that, I can't hail them and give them a blank check and the unequivocal benefit of the doubt whenever they do something.

[Dant-Zu]

I have nothing against Google but youtube just isnt youtube after Google get's its hands on it.

have faith ye doubters. google will purify the world (wide web).

they've proven time and again that they're not out-of-touch dumbasses, they HAVE TO realize that the community aspect is a huge part of youtube, and you shouldn't expect them to change that. expect the changes to be in ad flow.

ps google for forum mod.
