Google and Its Red Ink Geyser

April 15, 2009

Internet Evolution’s David Silversmith wrote “Google Losing up to $1.65M a Day on YouTube”. You can read it here. I would have slapped the title “So You Want to Be a Video Search Service?” I am not sure if the numbers are spot on. Talk about the Google’s losing $400 million a year or more has been floating around for quite a while. The point is that it is expensive to acquire video. host it, index it, and serve it. Not even Googzilla can deal with these costs. Hence, the new love birds: Googzilla and Universal.
