NOW we can say Youtube is part of Google

Lucian | Tuesday, April 22, 2008

It’s official: Youtube is part of Google!

You may think this is old news, but until now I always had the feeling that, aside from the occasional AJAX improvements of the interface and references to the mother company here and there on the site, Youtube was not bought by Google.

So how do I know? Well, one thing Google is known for is their theming of the logo to mark special days. For example, here’s the one they have today, to mark Earth day:

Google Earth Day 2008 logo

But this time, for the first time, to my knowledge, Youtube has adopted this approach too. Here is their logo:

So this is an interesting development. Have they done something like this before? Because this is the first time I notice it. Next, we are waiting for an April Fool’s hoax next year and some Easter Eggs and the picture will be complete.

Well, they do actually show YouTube clips onto the Google Video pages, thus the fact that YouTube is part of Google, besides the Add to iGoogle at the bottom of the YouTube page - is kinda obvious.
