YouTube, one of the most successful exits of the Web 2.0 era, needs little introduction. YouTube’s single biggest contribution is that it brought into the mainstream the concept of sharing videos online. YouTube shot into limelight when Google acquired

12.5 percent of the equity issued and issuable is subject to escrow for one year to secure certain indemnification obligations. Based on the $1.5 billion amount, that should be about $187.5 million.

Hat sich Google mit YouTube ver-kauft? Schon jetzt ist klar, dass es dort nicht weitergehen kann wie bisher. Der Erfolg der Videoseite fordert Opfer. Regeln für die Veröffentlichung werden nötig - doch so etwas hat schon anderen den Spaß und das Gesch

if these grassroots efforts are generating value (and in fact, wealth) and their creative power is being tapped by major corporations, at what point should they start receiving a share of revenue for their work?
-
Armed with this kitty of money Youtube approached the media companies with an open checkbook to buy peace. The media companies smelled a transaction when Youtube radically changed their initial 'revenue sharing' offer to one laden with cash.
-
But the next deal, probably for Facebook, is going to come in at a higher cost -- probably at an unsustainable cost. There are just to many people desperate not to miss the social networking train before it leaves the station.

The curious thing about YouTube is that the people who ought to be paid (individual content creators) aren't actually campaigning for it, while corporate providers are threatening legal action over clips pirated on YouTube - even though normally they are

Google kann YouTube vollkommen integrieren - beispielswiese in ihre Suchergebnisse.Sequoia ist nach meiner Meinung der einzig wahre Gewinner. Sie haben früh erkannt, dass das heutige Top Thema "Videos im Internet" ist und verdienen heute doppelt: bei Goo

Nope, we don't need your stinkin' technology, Google is paying $1.65 billion (with a "b") or 1.3% of Google's current value, for a media property. Plain and simple. But what does that even mean?
-
Interestingly, today "social" features like YouTube's ratings and opinions have been more helpful in video search than algorithmic approaches like Google's, which rely on metatags. if Google doesn't make sure the media comapnies make money from all of the

YouTube is a hopelessly inefficient way for consumers to steal copyrighted video content off the web. It's well suited to the negligible-attention-span clips that its users post up there, to music videos and to teasers and excerpts from longer (copyrighte

Ahh, so that’s what Google is getting with its $1.6 billion. It is building a moat around its advertising sales force and saying “you can’t get your hands on our advertisers.”

The new generation doesn’t sit down to watch prime time tv together. It’s on YouTube, which provides the asynchronicity of experience, personaliz-ability of tags, uploading, favorites lists, channels, and a play duration much better suited to consumpt

Google has to amplify (and protect) it's key revenue stream - ppc. Video ppc is a higher value domain, and a hugely untapped one. Google wants assets at the edges of the value chain which can exert market power against 1.0 publishers - just like it's doin

If no one is going to sue anyone for copyright infringement anymore, maybe you could upload stuff you dont have the rights to and get paid by generous people who want to transfer some dollars via PayPal to you.

Google (or whomever) should resist falling for the chimera of traffic stats and millions of videos watched. These stats from Hitwise show that while things are not going as well for Google Video, they are not that bad either if they decided to work alone
-
a Google-owned YouTube would suck. Google doesn’t get community in the slightest. Google Video’s social filters are terrible. What’s more, they’ll insist on tying YouTube to Google accounts.
-
YouTube is winning the hearts of the audience because video search simply doesn’t work. You have to instead rely on the opinions, ratings, and playlist compilations of others to discover good video.

Grouper’s recent sale to Sony for $65 million suggests a YouTube valuation of around $2 billion when you look at relative traffic. YouTube may get their $1.5 billion in the near future. But first they’ll have to find a buyer with a strong stomach for

YouTube is a time bomb and a gold mine waiting to happen. The question is which one will be bigger. Grouper hatte 1% Marktanteil, deshalb könnte YouTube $1Mrd wert sein. Aber es ist absolut nicht klar ob sich das GEschäft lohnt.

30% to $16 Mrd, according to estimates by New York research firm eMarketer. By 2009, the company predicts advertisers will spend $26.6 Mrd online. About $1.5 Mrd of that amount will go to Internet video advertising, the kind the Web video sites specialize

Interessante Gedanken wie Apple durch den Kauf von YouTube die Video iPod verkäufe anheizen könnte. Außerdem hätte Apple eine Top50 Seite, was für Werbung und ein Onlinepräsenz sowie ein soziales Netzwerk
-
YouTube soll eine Mrd Dollar wert sein. Nur wirds wohl keiner kaufen. Denn wenn es ein Network kauft dann kaufen sie sicher gleich jede Menge Prozesse mit ein. Und die Internet Giganten sind nicht sonderlich interessiert.
-
Murdoch kann YouTube nicht kaufen, weil er nicht eine Mrd in Bar hat und er keine Aktienanteile tauscht. Möglichkeit FIM spin-out. Andererseites ist NBC mit der Rückendeckung von GE ein viel wahrscheinlicherer Kandidat.
