Media Meditation: What Is The Value Of YouTube In 2007?
Here’s a koan for everyone in media: YouTube had revenue of $15 million is 2006; what is the value of YouTube in 2007?
If you’re not familiar with koans, this is from Wikipedia:
A kÅ·an is a story, dialogue, question, or statement in the history and lore of Chan (Zen) Buddhism, generally containing aspects that are inaccessible to rational understanding, yet that may be accessible to intuition. A famous koan is, “Two hands clap and there is a sound; what is the sound of one hand?”
As with tradional koans, I do not believev the answer to the one I posed can presently be arrived at through rational analysis. But I do think it’s worthy of mediation — in doing so, you may achieve media business model enlightenment.

Mediation? Is this with or without lawyers? The answer to that could have a big impact on value.
Brian, lol! I was going to fix it, but then I decided it was part of the koan.
