On the surface it seems counterintuitive, but this post by Michi Kono makes a very compelling argument for YouTube’s $1.65B acquisition price in terms of the opportunity cost to Google of not owning the legal, most popular online video site.

Rather than trying to rehash the (very interesting) argument, I highly recommend reading the full post.

    Hi, i just want to let you know that i approved your trackback and to tell you that many popular wordpress anti-spam plugins will block your trackbacks because you are on a subdomain of wordpress.com. :) so i would highly suggest you get your blog a domain name!

    thanks for the kind words,

    Michi
