There are all types of thoughts about the price that Google paid. Many think they paid too much, but Google possibly had something in mind by paying so much.
Some of the thinking is that Google paid it because they could afford to pay. At the same time by paying so much it sets a price standard and creates one that many don't want to pay and that others can't pay.
It also shows that Google is being aggressive while some are taking a much less aggressive approach. This likely could force Yahoo to make a move quicker than they had planned.
I am sure a lot of thought went into this and that Google has some plans in mind that the general public isn't aware of. It certainly was a good deal for the founders of YouTube and their employees. Time will tell if is a good deal or a bad deal for Google.
