All you need is a killer idea....









YouTube!!!! started in a garage in feb 2005... 65 employees... i havent used it much but heard abt it from so many ppl... all it does is upload/download/search/watch videos online... thats it.. I guess a simple work was needed to establish it .. it had got $1.3 M funding only... but sold for $1.65 B.... finally Google offered $1.65B for it. Though Google has the similar product (Google video) but they pay this gigantic amount for one more such product.. why? because YouTube is popular and millions of videos ppl watch on it .. despite of doing several efforts to improve Google video, Google lost its audience to YouTube.. and youTube employees became millionaire now….

All you need is a killer application. Think out of the box and devise a killer application and sell it to giants.. thats it.

Rumors are hot that Google is planning to buy facebook.. a social networking site.. Orkut could not do very well out of brazil.. Now Google is eying facebook.. Yahoo offering $1B to facebook.. $2.3 B is what Google offered… more than double…I believe Google offers too much to small companies.. Or is it because they left Myspace (arrogance?) and now paying double not to miss another social network, facebook…

@pravin:
ya. there are two ways to do it..
Either do something new and innovative OR optimize something already existing.. which is less costly and risky from doing sth from scratch....

wht do u mean by
"how youtube might be functioning at the various network layers"

YouTube involves major FTP work.... which is at application layer..
