(*)The wildly successful video-sharing site YouTube, is now
officially in the big leagues. Google, the largest Internet
search engine, has agreed to acquire the young company for a
whopping $1.65 billion. As VOA's Mil Arcega reports, for
YouTube's young founders, it's a classic rags-to-riches story.
----------------------------------------------------------------

--[2]-----------------------------------------------------------
It began as a simple idea that in a few months has exploded
into one of the hottest websites in the world. It's called
YouTube - where you can watch almost anything: from an old
man singing a Tango tune, to Hollywood star Kiera Knightley
playing "Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head" with her teeth.
----------------------------------------------------------------
--[3]-----------------------------------------------------------
What's the big deal? Well besides the silly spoofs and the
bloopers - YouTube has also become the go-to [preferred]site
for Internet politics.
----------------------------------------------------------------
--[4]-----------------------------------------------------------
And even insurgent videos from Iraq.
----------------------------------------------------------------
--[5]-----------------------------------------------------------
Wired magazine editor Marc Robinson calls it a revolution in
moving pictures.
----------------------------------------------------------------
--[6]-----------------------------------------------------------
"I think what we're seeing is a migration of the video-viewing
experience from TV to the Internet," (*1)he said. (*2)"More
and more people are (*3)going to be (*4)watching video/TV on
the Internet. And so what this is, I think is the next
evolution in how (*5)we watch TV."
----------------------------------------------------------------

(*2) And so I think more and more〜と言っている。
(*3) going toをgonnaと発音している。
(*4) watching video or watching TVと言っている。
(*5) we're gonna watch TVと言っている。
--[7]-----------------------------------------------------------
It's easy to see why Google would want a piece of the action.
More than 60,000 videos are uploaded onto YouTube every day.
Even more impressive: a 100 million videos are viewed daily.
Robinson says that's a large number of potential,
revenue-generating customers.

that's the leader in web video, something that Google has not
been that successful at on their own," (*)he said.
