The internet internet has been awash with talk of Google snapping up YouTube, but the actual confirmation still boggles the mind. How much bigger does Google intend to grow?

YouTube, founded in February 2005, is the world’s no. 1 portal for online video sites. It contains over 100 million videos, mainly short length videos which are downloaded by users every day.

By putting YouTube into its shopping bag, Google can now tap into the lucrative online video networks that are projected to grow exponentially.

It is expected that acquisition of YouTube will give Google an edge in online advertisements. It will also silence critics who have accused her of overly relying on keyword searches.

Google’s entry into online video sites is seen as an attempt to stem MySpace’s increasing popularity. Given Google’s dollar muscle, MySpace will find herself facing, for the first time, real competition from the world’s fastest growing company. It will have to re-look and rethink its video offering with a view to protecting and expanding her market share.

In a statement, Google said that YouTube will continue to operate independently as a Google component. Both the YouTube brand name and her workers will be retained to ensure that business is not interrupted.

Although some critics feel that US$ 1.65b is an awful lot of money to pay for YouTube, analysts believe that Google was feeling increasingly threatened by the success of MySpace and needed to do something definitive to stem this tide.

With these developments, it will be interesting to see whether big advertisers will rush to advertise on YouTube, further increasing competition in adwords, and, perhaps, giving adsense publishers a fresh lease of life.

How these developments will affect business on the internet will become clearer in the next few weeks. It will also be interesting to watch how MySpace will respond to this obvious invasion of their turf.

Whichever way you look at it, Google has recently been flexing her dollar muscles with astonishing speed. News of Googlecheckout is still hot-of-the-press – and PayPal may still be smarting from the implication of what a Google-driven payment system may portend.

I believe that Google is onto something big; and it involves videos. Today’s generation is more visual than any other in the world’s history; and technology has made developments in audiovisuals fast-and-furious. I believe Google is responding to this trend – and had to fast-track her entry into this genre so as to counter MySpace’s success. No wonder they were willing to pay such an astronomical figure; possibly outbidding Yahoo and MSN, who, I’m sure, are not going to sit pretty and ogle Google gobbling up their market share!
