You could only miss the buzz about Google (GOOG) and YouTube if you were in a bubble and in complete seclusion. Recently, the Google-YouTube deal has saturated the media, and Know More Media authors have been giving us the play-by-play action.
The real buzz started a few weeks ago when Mark Cuban declared the empending demise of YouTube. MidMarketMaven predicted that Cuban was wrong, a statement quickly followe
d and supported by the announcement of a distribution deal between Warner Music and the popular video sharing site.
Soon after came rumors of a courtship between Google and YouTube, news that caused a snowball effect and leaving everyone on edge wondering if the search engine giant was really going to take the plunge. Yesterday our curiosity was quenched with the grand announcement that Google purchased YouTube. For WebMetricsGuru, this deal raised a few questions and BizofShowBiz explained its real significance.
Amid the YouTube-Google news came other great questions asked by our Know More Media authors. ITechTips pointed out the b5media recently obtained venture capital (VC) and asked what possible changes are coming in the VC industry. With Google purchasing YouTube for a whopping $1.65 billion, SocialRiots is right on time asking if social VC will be caught in a new dot com bubble that could burst at any moment.
