There are probably many YouTube fans among 5 Star members and visitors.
There are reports that Google has an interest in buying YouTube and that there are talks going on to secure a deal. There have been published reports of a 1.6 billion dollar purchase price.
It is interesting to consider that YouTube has made it to this point and only has about 2 dozen employees.
This could be a big help to Google in attracting advertisers. But Google could also need to deal with some copyright issues.
Many 5 Star members participate in Google AdWords and Google AdSense. With a purchase of YouTube, Google just might create ways to tie those two programs into it and benefit those of us who use these programs.
Many eyes will be on this one and there will probably be a lot more news about this.
