(from Business Week)
organic CEO, Mark Kingdon, said he thought YouTube would have made more sense as a Yahoo property.
Google is strong as a "link and list business," Kingdon said. Yahoo, on the other hand, is expert at organizing content into channels -- and that is exactly what the fledgling YouTube site needs right now.
"I'm surprised they didn't kick it up a few notches and make the purchase."

Quick introduction
I don't see any surprise in that. Yahoo admitted themselves - $1,6 billion are too much to afford. And generally I may be a little biased but I don't see any other company (other than Google) capable of turning such an investment into profit.
