Google no more a Tech Company
With YouTube acquisiton, Google is no more a Tech company. From being a great search engine Google is moving slowly but very steadily towards being another Content Company (a.k.a. Yahoo or MSN for that matter). Apparently Viacom was also in talks to acquire YouTube. It will be interesting to see how Google's recent deals to distribute video from Viacom Inc.'s MTV Networks on the Web and agreement with News Corp.'s Fox Interactive Media division to provide it with search technology and broker advertising shapes up with this new acquisition. Google is now in the same business as these biggies (Viacom/News Corp).
