Well, its official.  There has been rumors going around the web for the last little while, but I wanted to share with all of those who read this blog that You Tube was purchased by Google and the announcement was made official yesterday.

To me it makes sense,  Google did not want to make a mistake again of getting a powerful high traffic social site (like the did with My Space - who gets more traffic then Google)  I think Google missed that one and regret it - although, thinking about it …. they have enough money that they probably don’t regret it that much!  It’s just interesting to me to see the kind of companies that the powerhouse of search engines have thier eyes on!
