Google gobbles up You Tube for $2.5b
10 October 2006

SAN FRANCISCO: Web search leader Google Inc has agreed to acquire top video entertainment site You Tube for $US1.65 billion (NZ$2.5b) in stock, putting a lofty new value on consumer-generated media sites.

The deal, the first to value one of the new crop of user-participation websites at more than $US1 billion, combines two of the most popular internet brands: Google, synonymous with web search and rapid innovation, and You Tube, a Silicon Valley upstart that has spearheaded the video-sharing craze.
