News Roundup: week of 9th October
Tuesday, October 10th, 2006Various news this first week. First, Google is going to buy YouTube. What this means for Google and YouTube is yet to be seen, but it is known the site will keep its own branding and 67 members of staff at the headquearters they recently moved into. So, like Writely is at the moment - no great “Google Write” re-branding or anything. - Update: Late last night Google merged Writely with Google Spreadsheets and relaunched as Google Docs & Spreadsheets. Maybe people will be able to log in to YouTube with their Google Account, in time, pre-empting some sort of merge with Google Video. On a side note, I first blogged about Google Video back in March 2005!
The other thing is my Request for Adminship on the English Wikipedia, which ends this Friday.
