http://stillinthebox.blogspot.com/2008/06/youtubes-buried-treasure.html

Среда, 4 июня 2008 г. Making the most of its riches will take a lot longer than Google expected.

We think "yes.'" He adds: "If you talked to me" about this in early '08, "I'd have been more anxious. But we're making nice progress.". Of course, Google and YouTube have a massive human sales force.

Пятница, 20 июня 2008 г. Hijacking, murder, kidnap. Last week anarchy seemed to have gripped 'post-war' Iraq. Mark Franchetti reports from Baghdad on the revolt that gained momentum as it spread.
