They use it as a way to eliminate the competition, where it appears that the Goog is using it to supliment, or even replace what its got. So really, it's the exact opposite. But you're right, it's a great buy for Google. The difference, Webonics, is that microsoft buys the competing technology and guts it.

Big money but when one considers that youtube now has 65,000 videos uploaded on a daily basis it seems like a logical move for both of them. It will be interesting to see what exactly Google decide to do with youtube given that they have their own video technologies but just not the same level of content.
