Google has acquired YouTube for $1.65 billion in stock. Officially closing in the fourth quarter, YouTube will continue to remain and operate as a separate company in San Bruno, California with its 65 employees. I’ve had an very-rough insider (fellow Google employee) tell me that Yahoo! was also in the bidding war till the end. Read the official announcement here. [...] [...] So the rumor was true.

The stock exchange makes a lot of sense and certainly provides Google with all sorts of buying power.

They're clearly wealthy if they can buy YouTube outright :) Erik, Google is worth in the hundreds of billions. They’re clearly wealthy if they can buy YouTube outright :)

I have read many articles on the lack of success for almost all of their products - a little focus and a big push could go a long ways. They've had some recent updates, ie Reader, that has shown some great improvements - I'm looking forward to many more.

Recently Google also made the announcement that they'll stop releasing new products and start developing the existing ones. This may have a lot to do with the fact that they're overloaded, but I think it has its own financial side to it. Although, it's notable that their shares are now on $420, gone up $8 in the last day alone -- see the effect a YouTube rumor has on people? ;-) Erik,
