Web search leader Google Inc. said on Monday it agreed to acquire top video entertainment site YouTube Inc. for $1.65 billion in stock, the highest price yet paid for a consumer-generated media site.

Wow :shock: $1.65B for a company started in a garage less then 2 years ago. That's insane 8-)

Google - "Hello, we'd like to buy your company"

YouTube - "F you, google! Down with big corporations!"

Google - "How does $1.65 billion sound?"

YouTube - "... :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :D "

And GoogTube was born :lol:
