what are some large sites sold in the past year?

I mean large, multi million dollar deals.

photobucket, etc

 

youtube to google was a big one.

 

That was probably the biggest... It's the only one I can think of off the top of my head...

 

Wasn't Business.com sold recently?

 

Yeah, like 350mil, but youtube was 1.5 billion!

 

I think I'd still be happy with 350mil.

 

Haha, I know what you mean, I'd be happy with a lot less then that

 

This is pretty old but don't forget doubleclick !

 

Doubleclick.net sold for over 3 billion

Stumbleupon.com went for 75 million
Kaboodle went for 40 million
Last.fm went for 280 million
Feedburner went for 100 million

Plus a whole bunch more

There have been loads of acquisitions this year

 

Man. Just goes to show; and everyone, what do we recognize about these companies? They were all a completely new idea introduced into the market.

Innovation, not copying is the key.

 

Some big money here. I didn't know Stumble had been sold and for the price it has been sold, that is a nice retirement, lol

 

i think even myspace to google ?

 

Business.com was sold as a domain and not site .. right?

myspace was sold to News Corp. for 580 million

 

I'd say youtube is the biggest.

 

yeah, that was a pretty big payout for the youtube creators

 

I don't think so. Their whole business (including the new Work.com they launched last year) is still affiliated. I'm pretty sure the whole business was sold.

 

I hear Yahoo is getting sold. Microsoft offered a price for it. Think it would be the biggest in history so far, if sold.
With Microsoft and Google buying all the sites, there would a price hike for good sites for sure.
Urchin bought by Google was a pricey deal.

 

It isn't a done deal yet so who knows if it'll fall through or not Though if that did happen.. history made indeed.

 

MyBlogLog.com = sold for $10 million, right?
