Now it’s finally happened and the ‘big G’ has a foot in the YouTube empire I hope we don’t see a load of ads all over the YouTube site. I can imagine Google wanting to plaster ads all over the place to earn some quick dollars.

You can’t believe all these rumours! You’ll be telling us Google has bought it next! In all sincerity though, have you heard the rumour about Alexa being in the Google firing line?

Google buys YouTube at Clipland — Tue, 10 Oct 2006 20:46:04 +0000

[...] Google buys YouTube Nearly each week in the past few months we hear about a new revolution or the next giant acquisition or merger in the online social video market. The next big thing: Google buys YouTube to supplement its own social video venture Google Video.Nothing new, whith Sony buying Grouper just a few weeks ago. This time, after rumors of youtube being acquired by News Corp. Google made the game.So what can we expect after the merger?1.YouTube will change! After the much talked about trouble of youtube with illegally uploaded videos, Google will have to and will resolve this issue finally. The first steps are already made: Google signed deals with Sony BMG and Warner to distribute videos on Google Video.Also, it is probable that YouTube soon won’t be the 100% free fun-service anymore. They will charge for some services, maybe high-quality downloads, maybe more, maybe less. Let’s hope they revert to displaying ads on the site and keep it as free as possible.2.Google will try to catch up with iTunes. Apple started a business with selling music videos to iPods. Google Video started out as a pay-for service and switched later to becoming a YouTube clone. They will now surely go back to the initial idea and try to sell music videos. An interesting move is that Google will allow AdSense publishers to show music-videos-with-advert bundles on their websites. So you might soon see Google provided music videos here on Clipland.3.Which brings us to point 3. Google will solve the YouTube traffic problem. Google has giganto server farms all over the world. YouTube can now finally relax and rely on Google’s computing resources to crunch-numbers while encoding/transcoding uploaded videos and for the backend distribution of videos.read on:heretrouble of youtube with illegally uploaded videos[https://clipland.com/PRO/catHome our PRO service 'Catalog' which can help filter unwanted copyrighted content]about the merger on the register [...]

There is possibly no competitive advantage for Youtube beside doing it perfectly and doing it right the first time which is an instant attention getter. The site is big and could be formulated to instant content delivery wizard. The first thing comes to my mind as an advantage for online content delivery is the stats, very useful stuff for the amount of people using fast, slow, medium internet connections capable to view their online video trailors recently they started delivering. How come? possibly looking for a more Apple.com/Quicktime/trailors site? Nope. With this one it all come to potantial stats and how many people are interested in purchasing video clips which is only possible if you have a HUGE archive and deliver on small percentage of profits. It can be done, yes this site has potential that can EASILY wipe out almost all video content generating websites if done properly. What YouTube shouldn’t do is sell it or sell it now. The site will create almost double the value within the next two years if they continue delivery. Once it is taken over, the hostile nature for profits will ruin the pure fun of video uploads and even a Single Purchase/Buy link will increase Viewer Defection. So what is the potential? Tremendous. If YouTube is sold then YouTube guys never realised their own power.

[...] Om Malik thinks Silicon Valley based Writely, an online Ajax word processor, and Google may be getting cozy. Unlike me, Om tends to really dig before posting on acquisition rumors, so this one may be for real. I’ve also been hearing endless stories of the imminent acquisiton of Writely, so this one smells like a winner. More on Writely here (just scroll down). My favorite feature: save a document to PDF.

let me say this.. a lot of their content is ripped off, but its a lot better than say revver, which is super sensitive about all of their content.

YouTube has MAJOR copyright violation issues (as do others).

It’s not going to be long before the legit producers and rightsholders come a knockin’.

You cant build a viable longterm biz on ripped off content.
