- kasbah 11y agoWhy did Google buy YouTube when they have Google Video?
- hk__2 11y agoYouTube was <1 year old when it was bought; GitHub is 7 years old.
- whisdol 11y agoNitpick: YouTube was 1.5 years old (founded in February 2005, deal finalized in November 2006)[0]. I just looked that up because I really thought YouTube had been around longer before Google acquired it. That's interesting to learn, so thanks for pointing that out.
