Is Google a Hollywood Starlet?

The following video is part of our "Motley Fool Conversations" series, in which Motley Fool senior technology analyst Eric Bleeker and chief technology officer Jeremy Phillips discuss emerging trends in technology.

In today's edition, Jeremy and Eric look at Google's push to provide high-quality original content on YouTube. While the effort is relatively small compared to Google's overall business -- reports indicate the company's spending $100 million to $150 million -- the project could help lure advertisers to the site and could even be part of a broader effort to make YouTube an alternative to traditional television service.

Online video is a major part of an Internet boom that will lead to Internet traffic quadrupling by 2015. The Motley Fool has compiled a new report called "The Motley Fool's Top Stock for 2011," which highlights a company that's set to profit handsomely from the booming amounts of data flowing across the Internet, no matter which company delivers the video.
