So Google is buying FeedBurner...

  • Article

According to TechCrunch report at 2007/05/23, Google is buying RSS management company FeedBurner at a $100 million deal.

I believe that many bloggers are using FeedBurner to manage rss feeds and distributing traffic from self-own site (including me). and FeedBurner had proved that it's a good platform to do this job. Congrat. to FeedBurner to get more fund that should be able to provide better services in the future.

Just found interesting info about the acquisitions of Microsoft , Yahoo!, and Google those years. at Google side, Blogger, Picasa, Keyhole (for Google Earch), Where2 (for Google Maps), Youtube, and coming DoubleClick and FeedBurner are having impacts on the internet. at Yahoo! side, Flickr (photo management), Konfabulator (widgets), del.icio.us (social bookmarking) also having big impacts on internet. at Microsoft side, although still not having much impact on internet, Groove Networks (for Microsoft Groove 2007), Connectix (for Virtual PC), Winternals (for SysInternals tools) should still mark a good point for client and developer side software.

Looking at Great China and Taiwan's dominations, Google got 2.7% stock share of China's major searching engine Baidu, Yahoo! got 40% stock share of major China B2B site Alibaba, also got Taiwan's major photo-sharing and blog platform Wretch.cc . At Microsoft side seems currently no major acquisitions on those major influence site in China and Taiwan.

Maybe Microsoft should buy Technorati or Newsgator to get into the field of major web sphere... well, just a suggestion...

FYI.
