Fox Interactive Media President Ross Levinsohn to be Replaced by Peter Levinsohn — Sun, 19 Nov 2006 17:42:33 +0000

[...] Ross Levinsohn, in a conversation with Michael Arrington at an Under the Radar event in March, said that Fox had earmarked a further $2 billion for future acquisitions. (Grainy pic on right from Ross Levinsohn’s MySpace page, if you’ll forgive us the indulgence.) He said at that event that he expected to acquire another five companies in the near future. In April the company announced two small acquisitions, unlaunched news aggregator Newroo and web karaoke service kSolo. [...]

[...] This is MysSpace. MySpace is a platform. It started as a market leading tool set for managing the multimedia identity. Seeded by a group of hip networkers, it’s now fortifying by expanding its range of communication technologies (IM, email, wireless) and marketplace tools like classifieds. MySpace is on a aggressive acquisition spree to enhance platform functionality. [...]

[...] There continues to be a lot of discussion in venture capital and entrepreneurial circles alike about the onslaught of early acquisitions being made by the folks at Yahoo, Google, InterActiveCorp and increasingly Fox Interactive Media. The question I am often asked goes something like, “isn’t this really bad news for venture capital?” After all, if all the “good companies” are bought up before they have the chance to raise venture money, how will we VCs make any money?

[...] Did they also buy or consider buying… Popist? While we have a solid answer to that burning question… is it possible that their shopping didn’t include a second company? According to one discussion I had today, this was at least a very real possibility at one point. As I understand it, Preston even hit the nail on the head as to why they’d be interested at all.

[...] This follows Fox Interactive President Ross Levinsohn’s dramatic announcement at a recent UTR conference that “they’ve acquired someone in this room”, leading to serious blog speculation as to who the acquired company might be. While NewRoo did not present at the event, it turns out that they were in fact in the room at the time. [...]

[...] Patriot act. Huge phone company - who cares, if VoIP succeeds? They better not restrict web access. Visual image search (beat). Fox acquires a company, but we don’t know which (SimplyHired or Eurekster?). Google runs from the Chinese. Other things are happening, but I probably should write more extensively on those. This post needs a picture. Oh well - gotta pack. [...]

I think it’s either Meetro or Popist. I’m not sure if anyone caught the CPC ad-sales portion of the Popist Hotlist, but it sounds like something Myspace could integrate.

[...] At the Under the Radar Web 2.0 event last week in an interview with TechCrunch’s Mike Arrington, Fox Interactive President Ross Levinsohn announced that Fox had purchased one of the companies in the room. It was pretty big news for the roomful of 32 presenting companies, VC’s and press. During the cocktails afterward it seemed like everyone had a guess what company it was… Eurekster? Riya? Wink? Meetro? A few reports (like CNET’s Dan Farber’s) mentioned Dogster as one of the potential companies Fox had acquired. [...]

[...] I saw some demos of Flock, Goowy, Preezo, CentralDesktop, and Yahoo Go TV, all of which blew me away. I think Goowy is the company that Fox Interactive purchased the other day. If Goowy was integrated with MySpace along with their new mobile service, we are going to see some major disruption in the social space that will cement MySpace there for some time to come. [...]
