Google wants YouTube for... how much?!


Online search engine giant, Google, has confirmed they are planning to buy the increasingly popular online video sharing website, YouTube, for a princely sum of $1.65 billion. YouTube, a business - said to have been started in a garage - which was founded in 2005, quickly became a website where users could share their videoed opinions on anything that they wished, or TV companies could air their pilot shows online without having to pay for anything. It opened up a whole new-dimension to advertising, and YouTube's daily hits keep growing.

Google, probably the world's most accessed website, may now be one step closer to dominating the world! How long will it be before it starts collaborating with other hugely influential companies like eBay, or even, Microsoft? *shudders*

Am I the only one that thinks 'GooTube' just doesn't sound right?
