  • Google has indeed acquired YouTube

    Google has indeed bought YouTube , beating the " $1.5 billion reserve price " with a $1.65 billion stock deal. Jim Cramer ( via Fred ) says he was concerned with the $1.5 billion price - or rather, "concerned that someone else will come in and pay $2 billion." YouTube and Google could be game, set, match...
