    It's impressive what Google has done with Youtube. Acquisitions don't usually work out that well.

        @paulg @gilbert Among them: PowerPoint, Writely, NeXT... the fun part starts after that. 5 years seems like a reasonable cutoff.

        @paulg the way it has changed because of google is subtle. Those on the side of money and pro video won out over helping creative masses

        @paulg probably because it was mostly a "don't touch it" acquisition. There is still the risk for stagnation even with this model btw...

        @paulg truth. On the other hand I think it’s more about Youtube and less about Google

        @leothelion96 @paulg Google acquired Motorola for the patents and some of their employees, don't think they intended on keeping the company

        @paulg isn't the best part about it the fact that they haven't done much. Right time right place. Good brand. Job done.
