Top 10 Greatest U.S. Digital Media M&A Deals Of All Time
Back in November 2006, I published the Top 10 Greatest Internet Digital Media M&A Deals of All Time. It included eBay's $1.5 billion acquisition of PayPal, Yahoo's $1.6 billion acquisition of Overture, and Microsoft's $400 million purchase of Hotmail back in 1998. It also included News Corp's $580 million acquisition of MySpace. Don't laugh. The list was published a month after the big $900 million deal with Google, which I thought Google had drasticallyoverpaidfor at the time. Of course, times they change, as does the list, so I decided to update the list and yes, I went through all 255 pages on the Acquisitions section of CrunchBase.Below is my updated list of the Top 10 Greatest Digital Media M&A Deals, in reverse order. Give me your top ten in comments.Original Link: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/ZJbBY01y9Fw/
