yup google bought you tube

By jonezy | Published: October 9, 2006
and the more i think about the more i think the reason they did has nothing to do with video services.  I think it has more to do with buying a customer base to deliver web based software too (how will they tie gmail and gcal into the youtube services?) the other one is obviously they [...]

To fit in with hosted email, and dns google has bundled some other tools into the Google Apps for Your Domain service offering. At first glance it just seems to be mail+cal+gtalk+page creator but with a focus on collaboration within your hosted account. All for free too!
