YouTube not Acquired Yet

Update : Maybe YouTube which TechCrunch reported before updating the post, have not been bought by Newscorp. Aiight. While YouTube and Digg acquisitions are part of the guaranteed narrative of 2006, it aint happening just yet; I'd hurried myself uploading the Flickr vs YouTube graph. I was going to congratulate Jeremy Phillips, who runs the M+A Fund for News, on his trademark lock and loading. Sell Google, Buy Fox/News shares I'd said. Well do that, because News have big plans for video. I'd said forget about paying one billion dollars to be the the layer between online and offline media. Its all online baby. Flickr should have owned the YouTube space before they abdicated it to YouTube and were assimilated by Yahoo. I'll add Newscorp are still likely to combine its user generated long lost video cousins. Before Mike Myers got divorced, or maybe after, he would have said "Pleasssssse behave" and "Are you horny ?" Unlike the high price of potential lumped on Riya (which led to a baulk), Youtube are riding a vertically north ride to video-mash nirvana, coming to you soon I'm sure on News' Fox' MySpace You(r) Tube, on DirectTVWeb.

Om Malik: "You Tube. The San Mateo, California company was founded in February 2005, and a year later it is serving more than 3 million video views a day, receiving about 8,000 video uploads a day from users and transferring 16 terabytes of data a day."

David Quiec was writing about this on January the 3rd : "Hmm...maybe YouTube will be acquired by News Corp too. Shouldn't be too out there. At the very least, they have similar sound names ('My' & 'You'; get it?)."
