And I agree, this deal sounds pretty crazy in terms of the valuation it seems to put on YouTube's user base (since the technology is obviously not worth anything close to that to Google, who could replicate it overnight). But ummm...what "shadow" of Yahoo's is Google trying to escape? GOOG is crushing Yahoo in virtually every sense of the word, from earnings to stock price to revenues to monthly traffic. I'd say if there is a shadow in sight, it's being cast by Fox and MySpace, not Yahoo. I’m glad SOMEBODY around here finally mentioned the deal.
