Sold for $1.65 billion to Google. 8O

How long have those guys been around? A couple of years? Now they (and their venture capitalists) are wealthy beyond belief.

Someone give me an idea like that!
 
Blimey!

Ummmmmm...I'm thinking....when I think of something I'll...I'll...I'll let you know what I've done :p
 
I've got one!

A radio station which is split into 2 minute slots and all you have to do is upload a recording and it goes on air. All recordings would be checked first for filthy language and then go into a computerised lucky dip. Once it had been aired it would be tossed.

There would be advertisements every hour, like a normal radio station. Can you imagine the listenership? Thousands of people listening out for their recording to air? Everyone loves a bit of exposure :) ....and the randomness of the recordings would have people tuning in to eleviate the dullness of their day.

It would be like the soap boxes of London....you could call it Radio Soap Box.

Go on Morbyd....make your billion but don't forget me on the way up....come and spend half of it in my shop next summer. I'll give you a 1/2% discount ;)

I only really heard about Youtube in june when members started putting their videos on the site.

Thats some going!
 
very interesting indeed!

You tube founders had something to do with paypal didn't they? Suffice to say they've done very well - although they've not actually established a proper revenue stream yet to be honest - expect highly targeted adverts to appear soon courtesy of google.

Couple this information with a google director sitting on Apple's board and apple's new iTV box needing content and this gets even more interesting...

and in addition google has taken over advertising sales for some TV companies in the states I think, even more interesting.

Eventually we'll reach a world where every single TV advert is targeted at us specifically via the internet 8O based on our current needs - i.e. no more watching of tampon adverts if you're a bloke :lol: :lol:
 
Are you subtly forecasting the eminent Google takeover of the world there, Zarbtron? 8O

I do actually fear Google. It's gone from a business run out of a cupboard by some hippies to the world's favourite search engine. Due to the potential for subnersiveness on 'tinternet (just look at Spotlight for an excellent example) they're in brilliant position.

True... and one of the founders is American while the other is Russian... could it be a secret conspiracy between former Cold War foes to cement their ongoing domination of the world in the face of a substantial threat from the rise of Asian economies? 8O :lol:

By the way - isn't odd how you never see Roy Orbison and Kim Jong-il in the same room


(apart from the fact that Roy Orbison is dead)
