Nice profit too ;)
It's only been going just over a year too :o and only 70 staff.
Will it still be free though ::**
yeah gotta be free as there are a few others that are online that would take over if it wasnt...
good to see a success story... now we just need google to set up there own ebay and i'll be happy.
TBH i think if they'd have waited a year there would have been tons more youtube style sites about and youtube would have died down... maybe they where worried about youtube starting a search engine...who knows because i though youtube was going into debt daily because of all the bandwidth they where using, not sure how true that was :-\
Im pretty sure that the 3 fellas who started Youtube came from the same huge internet giant site,left ...Then started the "tube".
Must have made a fortune between them.
C*nts ;D
Ah, this is the news they were talking about last night which I missed. Thanks for the info. With google we can upload even larger videos :) nice move
Can you work on embeding videos from
http://www.vidiLife.com
Here is a nice azz kicking
http://www.vidiLife.com/video_play_1...ARTY_FIGHT.htm
;D
will look into it mate as theres quite a few sites now that offer the service might not be practical :-\
nah Smach good for them mate i think putfile was around first and the first to stream files from users ((could be wrong)) but youtube came along and done the idea better by converting to fla on the fly and embedding there links into the vidoe player was a masterstroke ;)
Right im with the Mrs and my bro in law and they've just said that the 3 co founders of youtube set it up with their overdrafts on their credit cards.
Hows ya luck 8)
It's such a simple idea as well.
>:mad
I just hate it how i can never think of such genius stuff like that.
usually the best ones are ;)Quote:

WOW isnt it ironic that something so simple such a plain concept blows up so big to the masses and gets bought for 9 figures?????? haahha Siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiick man! i get inspired by ishhhh like that.
just edited my first post as it wasnt 180 million it was....
1.65 BILLION :o
Wow that is a load of dough :o
I wonder how they're gonna split it amongst themselves. (67 Employees)
oh just so you know...
1 billion = 1000 million 8)
I've always liked google's attitude. They were one of the few who stepped up to the plate
and denied governmental access to people's files. Not sure if that lasted or how long it will.
Just that they have principles, I think. They were cool guys too, they didn't ban porn from
google did they? ;) heh Google is the best research tool. :)
I've always wondered, how the hell does google get it's money? From just Advertisement? But Google is
one of the biggest money-makers in the world today. Crazy!
Yes but there's got to be a way to save those youtube videos to my computer. That would make things a lot easier, especially for people who like to make boxing videos and tributes.
Completely agree mate. Lets hope eh?Quote:
