I, for one, welcome our Google overlords.

Oh, They know.

Well, on the "which do I use more" question: Yahoo owns Flickr and del.icio.us, so I'd say Yahoo properties and YouTube are tied in terms of my own personal usage.

Obviously for the population at large, YouTube is the winning buy.

[klayzen]

Quite right! However, the prices don't really compare: Google bought youtube for $1Bn. MS is paying 44x that for Flickr & del.icio.us.

[dariusk]

And pipes! Which is probably the single most useful tool on the internet...

MS hasn't actually ponied up the money, or even gotten a yes yet, have they?

BTW - I like undervaluation, if it lasts until next Weds. =)

it's a 'hostile' takeover shnig. So no, they haven't paid anything yet. But Yahoo shareholders would be mad to turn this down. It practically doubled them up overnight.
