YouTube googled, but can it still be goggled

By Nathan Green October 10th, 2006

So, Google has snaffled up popular video sharing website YouTube for US$1.65 billion in a stock-for-stock deal.

My big concern is does this mean that YouTube now counts as Google Video, and if so will it also be blocked/made not available/insert your censor-approved term here in China.

Looks like its back to CCTV 5 for me for Friday night fun, or perhaps the banned-but-still-widely-available-on-pirate-satellite-TV BBC.
