Argggh

October 10th, 2006

If I read another article about the Google purchase of Youtube, I am going to go crazy.

Every single article talks about the same thing and regurgitates the same points - why Google is going to be sued, why YouTube isn’t a great place for advertising and about how Youtube’s videos fit in with Google’s mission of indexing the world’s information.

Google and Youtube are great but is a business deal which has very little short-term effect on end-users really important enough to warrant several posts on every single technology blog and a tons of Digg articles?

I really don’t understand the whole obsession with Google.

Then why do you post about them so much?

Wow, just as I read this post it comes up on the news… scary :S

… and yes, they’ve said every one of those points :P

Would I be the only one thinking that actually having dealings with a mere front-end trading-name of a larger corp is off-putting?

Myspace, quite apart from being full of idiots, is owned by Murdoch, is it not? Somehow, that fact is keeping me away from it all the more.

Let the magic & toys be the focus, not the corporate ownership!
