I totally agree. I'm glad it was google not yahoo that bought em. I still use Yahoo messenger, only because I have since I started on the net. However most everything else I use is Google.

I have a hobby called Geocaching, which btw is where my id comes from, Google Earth comes in really handy for that. Also Sketch Up from google rocks as well! Lets hope Google keeps the trend and only improves upon YouTube.

Google is just buying out anything that could put up a threat to them in competition. I bet if they had any profile things they would have bought Myspace for more than what Fox paid for it.

I like the move at this point, though it won't be easy to make this one profitable anytime soon. Google had the server power, the money, and the ideas. It makes sense for them to do this.

Google was trying to turn google video into a youtube but they couldnt keep up at all so they decided to buy it instead. Another main factor is that Yahoo has focused the future of the company on the video demands of users, so google essentially gave them a solid hit. If you cant beat em join em...then beat em.
