Valleywag
Valleywag's cyborg brother Gizmodo chatted with Chad Hurley, co-founder of YouTube. The video site just took $8 mil from Sequoia Capital, refueling buyout rumors. Hurley danced a decent two-step around the million-dollar question.
Q: Facebook just turned down a $750 million offer, saying they were seeking $2 billion. Do consider yourself a million-dollar-kind-of guy or a billion-dollar-kind-of guy?A: What we're really committed to is providing the best experience, and we're not really thinking about what we're worth. We're just viewing this as solving a really hard problem and that's how to distribute video in an entertaining way. So as we move forward, we're just going to stay committed to that.
In other words, "All the big shots are throwing me Benjamins, baby. So I don't need to beg."
