Startup Buyer's Guide

Google's purchase of YouTube last week for $1.65 billion in stock dominated last week's tech news. That's a lot of money for the leading video hosting site with many copyright violations. In this PodSession Om and I pick our favorite companies we think big Internet players could purchase for less than the New York Yankees' $200 million payroll.

Om's picks for Yahoo!:

  1. Photobucket photo hosting and sharing
  2. Video hosting site Metacafe for their international audience.
  3. License the Yahoo! Music API like crazy.

Niall's picks for Google:

  1. The Coding Monkeys, creators of collaborative editing software SubEthaEdit and Plazes.
  2. AdMob for mobile advertising.
  3. Collaboration company Zimbra for Google Apps in the enterprise and strong Java and DHTML technologies.

This week's PodSession, Startup Buyer's Guide, is 23 minutes in length, a 11 MB download.
