Yahoo has acquired video publishing platform Maven Networks for $160 million. We were the first to report the deal the day the papers were signed, on January 31. The next day, Microsoft announced its bombshell offer for Yahoo, which probably delayed the announcement of this smaller acquisition. Everyone at Yahoo has been a little bit preoccupied.
Yahoo will use Maven’s technology to host video for media partners and incorporate Maven’s video-ad insertion technology into its overall advertising platform.
See all

Now this is just to piss MSFT off.
@2.. though a lot of the it fish beg to be eaten alive by some bigger fish…
Eventually they all will merge into one single giant… It’s just a matter of time.

Somone just spit on Superman’s cape and pissed into the wind. Can you see Balmer ranting NOW?
All of these changes at Yahoo are making the Microsoft deal very interesting to watch. Yahoo Confirms Maven Networks Acquisition
Yahoo is trying hard from falling but it seems inevitable.
…like the last kicks of a drowning creature…
Is Yahoo trying to bankrupt itself to fend off Microsoft?
Microogleahoo They will all be one, just a matter of time.
