AdAge has come out with this list of top “New Media” companies that were acquired in 2006. Here’s the list –

1. YouTube by Google , $1.65 billion
2. Massive by Microsoft, $200 million-$400 million

To be honest, this list scared me a bit. I dunno why I am getting this strange-strange feeling that this is nothing but Bubble 2.0. Feel free to disagree.

On a sidenote, are we going to have FaceBook and Yahoo! on the 2007 list?

This is a viral video from Youtube that is getting a lot of attention.

I will let the author set the scene:

It was back in Oct 2005.

My wedding was about a month to go and I decided to make a memorable event for my future wife. But, I and she were working and due to preparation of wedding, I didn’t have enough budgets for expensive proposal. While I was considering for the event, I remembered what she said in the past. “Wow it would be great if I can get a chance to go in the room with full of yellow post it just like Sang Sang Plus” (Sang Sang Plus is one of the famous talk show (TV program) in Korea and they prepare a room with full of yellow post it - questions from fans to famous celebrity)

I wrote all the happy memories that I had with my wife in 5,940 post it. It took me 4 days & 5 nights to write everything and post it in the bathroom. (I tried main living room first, but, due to surface of wallpaper, I had to change the place) Once we back from honeymoon, we took all the post it off and kept it in the box until now.
