- Four20, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4your story already hit front page, you don't need to spam it here
- neophenix, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Did someone not do their homework? Commission Junction (CJ) is part of a larger company, ValueClick, and is not exactly a target for acquisition.
- AhmedF, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2CJ is far from a web 2.0 company.
FeedBurner and Meebo are category leaders. edgeio is - hell, I still don't know what it is doing.
Way to churn the rumormill :) - Neem, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1yeah lets throw away all the ads ... and see the web2.0 die faster than a bug splattered in a windshield
- cmdrNacho, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1"This puts the likes of Feedburner, Meebo, edgeio and Commission Junction squarely in Google's sights as potential acquisitions."
Not likely.. They bought the youtube community, not the service itself. When any of these have a user base as large as youtube.. then it might be more likely. Now digg on the other hand ..... - hotpepper, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Maybe if they bought Meebo, I could finally create groups and move contacts between groups.

- chunkylimey, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0Focused advertising is no bad thing. If they get better at showing me things I am likely to want or need it's not a bad deal. Especially if it means less unwanted ads, less spam and less of my "consumer" time taken up with crap I've no desire to buy or see. Google are pretty good at leading research into targeted marketing and cutting out the junk.
If you don't have ads you don't get consumer choice, most people complaining about ads are just anti-capitalist whiners. Efficient advertising is the way. Only reason there are so many ads in the US is that the last thing Americans go for is efficiency (look at all their crap domestic made cars)..
If I could just find a way to make decent fuel out of my junk snail mail (or find the bastards who send me it and bury them alive in their crap). - MrSolutions, on 10/12/2007, -6/+2The developments in video advertising are intereting, especially given that they have purchased YouTube and YouTube is likely to end up on our TV sets at some point.
Its even possible Google could even try to buy TiVo to get all that advertising centred right in the living room.
