I didn't realise Chad Hurley (YouTube CEO) still worked for Google. Also amazing (from Wikipedia) is how much stock he managed to keep onto (after acquisition) when the early expenses were presumably so high.

Well I heard him say, somewhere I can't remember, they got an unlimited bandwidth deal from their hosting provider, which was subsequently removed after YouTube left them. Also they were only 18 months old at the time of acquisition.

It's possible he has needed to stay for his stock to vest, right?

I meant that it's doing so well precisely because he's still there, and that's why I'm surprised (that he's still there). He really cares!
