You’re definitely right about the possible litigations from Google’s acquisition. I guess that’s a hurdle that they probably have thought about already and have made contingency plans for.

Given that, I think it is a great move in terms of advertising revenue. If you look at the CNet videos you will notice that they normally put in some sort of ad before you actually get to watch their videos. The same goes for Yahoo!music. Because of youtube’s popularity and usage, we’re talking about millions of ads being run per day. Now, that’s not the only thing Google gets.

Google now has access to millions of users’ habits and personal data. You have a tracker attached to this blog of yours. Imagine creating relationships with the data that your tracker gathers and cross-reference it with other data that you have on them. An example of this would be our political parties. They cross-reference your voting record with your spending habits and more. From this information, they have a good understanding of what a possible wavering voter is, or that Volvo owners tend to vote democrat. Google’s acquisition of youtube gives Google a very powerful tool to create a statistical study of their users. This in turn creates a very powerful tool to figure out the specifics of what each IP owners like and not like.They can eventually cater their ads to specific IP adresses. Now, that is power, being able to specifically target your ads to IP adresses.

I know it sounds far fetched but it really is simple if you have the proper algorithms and proper statisticians in place. The only problem Google has would be the possible lawsuits that will come from the Youtube acquisition.

That means the numa numa guy will beat out WB shows, and cute sleeping kittens will make some person with a digital camera richer than a sitcom producer. Will it ever come to that?

Eventually, labels, bands etc. will not be able to ignore the power of the internet (Myspace, Youtube). Bands don't sell a million records anymore. They make their money on touring and merchandise, and even then after it's split up there's not much left. Monetizing video and other exclusive content will revolutionize the way bands make money. It's inevitable. Mark, good stuff here. Eventually, labels, bands etc. will not be able to ignore the power of the internet (Myspace, Youtube). Bands don’t sell a million records anymore.

Buy the Cubs Dude! I was raised around the city of Chicago and we are starving for good ownership!

On another note, I’m a United States Marine and just moved to Paris, Texas. My girlfriend is coming out next weekend. Do you have any suggestions on where to hang out in Dallas?
