I love Techmeme as my "newspaper" for the web, to show me what the blogosphere is chattering about as a big story. Today, that’s the
Google purchase
of YouTube. Check out the
top of Techmeme:
Here is the entire coverage on Techmeme. Wow:
Here is a thumbnail of the entire page, to give some perspective (click

Thanks Danny, I think Techmeme is great. I now have it in my first thing in the morning to do list. I just hope it doesn’t evaporate too much of my time. But, I will be informed.
Hey Danny, thanks for the techmeme info. Great resource. I tried to cover it on my blog when it was the topic of the moment. I’ll be sure to check next time. Regarding the GooTube matter, I think this is a great match. Google reminds me of Apple as of late, with the iPod being their cash cow. Since Google wants to be a media company (as Adsense is a better business model to monetize traffic than search alone) it stands to reason that this is just the beginning of their media aquisitions. Next? Perhaps Viacom?
