It seems that way with Google’s release of Video Adsense. Straight from the horse’s mouth .
I sold half my Google position in celebration of the euphoria…at $617.
Lot’s of nerd takes over at TechMeme. I like reading Ashkan on days like today who has an entrrpreneurial, ground floor media view on the announcement .
I respectfully disagree with his view on Content being the next big wave of VC investment , just not enough leverage, but if he’s right, great.
Matthew Ingram says it could be genius or desperation . I don’t think it’s either, just business. The desperation thing makes for good headlines, but come on Matthew, Google paid squat (inflated paper) for this business and I have said from day one that the deal was cheap. The stock market money agreed. This is no Skype.
What is amazing is how huge a lead Google now has in Video. It’s like every other player has backed off, stood still and switched away from being in the market with YouTube. That is never a good thing for the market. Great for Google’s stock though…hence the $600 plus price tag today.
Talk about big news in video. How about Jeff Immelt getting into bed with Sue Johanson! Ewwwwwwwwww. The tings that boy will do for money.
test… I think the comment issue is fixed now Howard, the “comment timeout” plugin was rejecting some comments. I changed one of the settings.
I think this is step one towards real AdSense for Video. This is TubeSense still, and not a real release, yet. It’s coming, but it’s not done, imo.
Never underestimate the power of a good headline, Howard :-)
Mathhew – I never underestimate YOU
