One responder mentioned that Google might be nuts. I tend to agree with that scenario. It is sort of a case of a stock that is overpriced--Google's--being offered in exchange for a property that might some day have value as an advertising vehicle. However they have already received more that $25,000,000 worth of free advertising through the news media by the purchase, so maybe they are not nuts after all.

It's all about generating advertising revenue. If YouTube can get enough hits, then Google can charge advertisers premium prices for space on the site. I think YouTube is the hot new thing and Google overpaid... but time will tell.

Google wants to have a monopoly.
Ha. No.
Not the game.
They want to own as much as possible.
