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
3. Atom Films by Viacom, $200 million
4. DMarc by Google, $102 million
5. Xfire by Viacom, $102 million
6. Platform by Comcast, $80 million
7. Grouper by Sony, $65 million
8. JotSpot by Google, $50 million
9. Petfinder by Animal Planet, $35 million
10. Wired.com by Conde Nast, $25 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?
