I just wonder how they're going to handle Google Video as a competitor to YouTube.

Wow. One day you make a startup, and couple of years later you are $1.6 billion richer.

I´d really like to be one of the founders of YouTube

impressive.

google has a lot of clout, I think they will find a way to avoid lawsuits.

Every time I hear something like this, I wonder what I should invent that Google would buy for such a sum. Well, I'd even settle for a couple million bucks .

I've never taken those classes, but perhaps they did expose him to some stimuli or experiences that could have broadened his imagination. But I've always been on the belief that for artistic professions, real world experiences are far more important than classroom experiences. It's better to travel around the world, than sit in a classroom.

I wonder if google will kill the golden goose. Of course youtube has never made a profit so it isn't exactly a golden goose but it is very well positioned to catch advertising dollars as they shift from TV & radio to the internet.
