Google in talks to buy YouTube for 1.6 billion dollars
SAN FRANCISCO (AFP) - The YouTube video-sharing website and Google internet giant sternly declined to comment on reports that they were discussing a 1.6 billion dollar takeover by Google.

YouTube workers ejected a television news camera crew that made its way into the popular website's non-descript office in the heart of San Francisco.

"We do not comment on rumor and speculation," said Google spokesman Jon Murchinson.

The young website was in the spotlight as the result of a Wall Street Journal report citing an inside source as saying Google was courting YouTube to the tune of 1.6 billion dollars.

1. Google's pretty strong now. I wonder what YouTube folks
want out of this deal (besides $).
