YouTube is now Google’s Property!

Vamsi — Tue, 10 Oct 2006 09:10:51 +0000

If you are late to know this, let me tell you, the recent article at WebProNews stating it a rumor is now real. The news came from the New York Times and here is what it has to say:

A profitless Web site started by three 20-somethings after a late-night dinner party is sold for more than a billion, instantly turning dozens of its employees into paper millionaires. It sounds like a tale from the late 1990s dot-com bubble, but it happened Monday.

Google, the online search company, agreed Monday to pay $1.65 billion in stock for the Web site that came out of that party — YouTube, the video-sharing phenomenon that is the darling of an Internet resurgence known as Web 2.0.

YouTube, founded in February 2005, had been coveted by virtually every big media and technology company as they seek to tap into a new generation of consumers who are viewing 100 million short videos on the site every day.

Having great time with MetaCafe

Vamsi — Mon, 03 Jul 2006 10:30:08 +0000

“MetaCafe – Get the best internet videos – Funny videos, Amazing clips, Rare movies.”

I was having a great time since 10 days now after I came across metacafe.com
Its a very good video sharing website. Not just videos but, images, flash stuff, jokes, never seen stuff, feel good stuff.. and ya some cool flash games too and many more. For the best experience, download the metacafe desktop tool on their website Metacafe.com. And make sure you have the right filters configured or else you will endup downloading all adult stuff.

Have a nice time.

Vamsi — Thu, 23 Mar 2006 21:57:11 +0000

Millions of blogs, Thousands of nominees, 151 finalists, Thirty winners!
Yes, a 30 from millions! Bloggies awards started in 2001 and is one of the top known awards in blogging. While i’m a fan of two blogs in the top list; PostSecret & Boing Boing, i came across this cool blog; Joshuaink, which won the best design and best tag line. Not sure about the tag line, but the design, its Damn COOL.. I was looking at its CSS and design for atleast an hour now.
One thing i didnt like is the best blogging tool award. Won by Blogger.com
I wish WordPress.org won it.
