Google to Buy Twitch.tv
Over the weekend news broke of the possible purchase of Twitch.tv by Google which brings up some interesting things. Like if the google purchase will destroy what makes twitch.tv so great or will that put a google monopoly on live video streaming? Who really knows but if things do go thru you can be assured that the current twitch partner streamers will likely get more money and even better exposure.
Basically it will be a good time to be a professional streamer.
While YouTube is indisputably the largest pre-recorded video site on the Internet, Twitch is undoubtedly among the Web's largest live-streaming video sites. Still, the scale between the two entities really isn't comparable: Twitch has 45 million monthly users, YouTube has one billion. A deal like this is sure to draw the ire of regulators, and the report says YouTube is gearing up to jump through the necessary approval hoops to get the deal done.
Makes you wonder if One Billion is the asking price or if google talked them down due to the infrastructure problems
