EXTWeb 2.0 Startup School at There was Code; Then there was AJAX!

In my battles with Drupal (an open CMS), I?ve learned how to create page-aggregators (Original Signal), social networks (Myspace), user-gen content (Digg), and some Flickr and Del.icio.us tagging for good measure. So in this next series of posts I?m going to go over how to start a Web 2.0 website and/or how to Web 2.0?ize your current website 0 Responses to Web 2.0 Startup School No Comments Leave a Reply Name Mail (won’t be published) Website (continues)

Every Google and Yahoo acquisition - the big listfranticindustries - web 2.0, social networking, IT technology trends.

With the recent news about Yahoo acquiring MyBlogLog, I’ve realized that it’s getting increasingly hard for me to remember which companies Yahoo and Google bought throughout their history. All the info is out there on the net, but it’s never complete - there were always some pieces missing. So I’ve decided to create one big chronological list with all Google and Yahoo corporate acquisitions that are publicly known, with dates, acquisition values and current status of the acquired companies.

In my research on this topic I’ve browsed through many sources, with the most important being Wikipedia, Kuro5hin and SEO by the Sea, so big credit to them.

This list is a work in progress and it’ll be updated as soon as I get new info. Feel free to contact me if you can contribute.
