If I was a betting man I would put my money on Murdoch loosing money. This is what happens when some CEO who doesn't know anything about how the web or how search works goes on a rampage. I wonder if Murdoch even knows what a browser is. (Reference to Google's "What is a browser?" video series.)
Edit:
I was just laughing while watching the video. Murdoch didn't even use YouTube's name. He said "that, that huge video site that was such a runaway success." What I get out of it is he's just jealous of Google. I bet he wants to buy them out and add them to his portfolio.
- defen 17y agoPeople said the same thing about the MySpace deal, and look how profitable that turned out to be. I don't think you give Murdoch enough credit.
- joe_the_user 17y agoIsn't MySpace supposed to be dying under News Corp? Tell me if I'm wrong.
- cakesy 17y agoMyspace has been losing share, while facebook has been gaining a lot. If you look at it that way, mySpace is losing. I am not sure how well it is performing for Murdoch. You have to give kudos for him trying to get into a new market. As for how he will lose if he removes his sites from google, time will tell. I assume he has done a lot of work looking at the area.
- pablohoffman 17y agoI bet the guy didn't mention YouTube just to avoid giving competitors "free publicity". Just another example of how fixated his mind is on legacy business/marketing practices...
