Amid Yahoo Turmoil, AOL Makes An Acquisition

by admin, 1,316 views

On Monday AOL will announce the acquisition of San Diego-based Goowy, a startup founded in late 2004 and which launched, incidentally, in my living room in late 2006 (we had a TechCrunch party where Goowy, Meebo, Sphere and other startups launched). The size of the deal is not being disclosed.Their first product was a Flash-based webtop or alternative operating system. But later they went into the widget space with their YourMinis product, and that is the reason AOL has acquired them.

AOL SVP of Social Media, Messaging and Homepages David Liu said this was a deal they’ve been considering for the last nine months, and that they plan to integrate Goowy’s technology into both user-facing AOL products (to widgetize them) as well as their Platform A advertising network. Expect Platform A to launch significant new advertising products in the widget space soon, Liu says

    acquisition of San Diego-based Goowy, wow.
    AOL seems to be taking the offensive on trying to soak up some market share recently. Actually many internet based firms are trying to strech out like google and yahoos 2 two week trial. microsofts attempt at getting yahoo and so on, strange

    An opt-in email list is money in the bank, they say. Meaning that top online entrepreneurs use email opt in lists for direct marketing that tips the scales in their favor by giving them plenty of instant sales that does not have to come through the normal long less efficient channels of visitors flocking at their site and being advertised to.

  37. Vintage Electric Guitar Says:

    Once you have this information at hand, you can attempt to find the value of the guitar by consulting various sources on the internet or you can have it appraised by an expert. Researching the value of your guitar on the internet may be free. The downside is that this research requires a big expenditure of time and a wide knowledge of guitar pricing resources. If you have your guitar appraised, remember that the appraiser may also be a dealer who is, after all, wanting to make a profit by reselling the guitar. For this reason, the appraisal MAY be biased.

    If only you could give a bit more information that would be great.
