eBay acquires StumbleUpon.

eBay NASDAQ:EBAY) has just acquired social bookmarking site stumbleupon for $75 Million. I dont understand this because Yahoo! acquired del.icio.us for only $30 Million, and del.icio.us has a far bigger market share in social bookmarking than stumbleupon. I think the main reason of the acquisition was for eBay to branch out into more services.

Yahoo! is Making A Turnaround.

If you haven't notices Yahoo! has been making a lot of new decisions probably because they notice that Google is growing at an incredibly larger rate and Google is taking in a lot more in revenue. Jerry Yang the co-founder of Yahoo! has taken over as CEO replacing Terry Semel who reaped over $500 million in rewards when Yahoo! wasnt even doing that well. Yahoo! also is acquiring sports website Rivals.com, so as you can tell Yahoo! is going full steam ahead in hopes of better competing with rival Google.

Microsoft/Yahoo!

I know Iam slow to catch up on this, but this is crazy microsoft to possibly acquire yahoo, then there would only be google and the yahoo home page would be filled with microsoft ads and they would probably make yahoo search powered by windows live. I think microsoft acquiring yahoo would be a very bad thing, yahoo is one of the internet superbrands and microsoft and yahoo would not be a good mix. Just picture microsoft and yahoo together its awful. I think microsoft should stick to what they do best copying other companies software.
