2005年Web2.0领域10大收购

2005年也是一个收购之年,Adobe收购Macromedia、eBay收购Skype都有些惊世骇俗的味道。不过今天不说2005年最大的收购,只说一下2005年里Web 2.0相关的重要收购活动。这次还是一样,只有国外的,没有国内的。不是不想写国内的,而是实在知之甚少。

Six Apart并购Live Journal
2005年Web2.0领域中的第一个大型收购 。这是两个名列前茅的BSP(Blog Service Provider)的合并,同时也是两种截然不同的Blogging文化的交汇。

AskJeeves收购Bloglines
这是2005年初又一个备受瞩目的收购活动。RSS在线阅读的王者却卖给了一个不温不火的搜索引擎。这也注定了Bloglines在2005这一整年中虽然王位不改,但却也无甚长进,让很多Blogger对它只能是恨铁不成钢。

Yahoo收购Flickr
Yahoo是2005年在Web2.0的路上冲得最快的大公司。收购Flickr后,虽然加入了Yahoo登录系统,但是基本上没有改动Flickr的服务,而且还进行了服务升级。所以我认为这项收购到目前为止,至少不是失败的。

MSN收购MessageCast
MessageCast提供的免费LiveMessage服务,可以把Feed更新通知到MSN Alert,使读者可以第一时间从IM、邮件或者移动设备接收Feed内容的更新。这是一项被提及不多的收购,但我认为它将会是微软Live计划中重要的一环。

NewsGator收购FeedDemon和NetNewsWire
收购者是在线RSS阅读服务,被收购者一个是Windows桌面RSS阅读器,一个是Mac桌面RSS阅读器。三者都是同行中的老牌劲旅。不过它们的结合,似乎并没有为它们带来太多的活力。后来者Rojo和GreatNews的使用量在我Blog的读者中的增长速度更快。

Yahoo收购Blo.gs
Blo.gs是最老牌的Blog目录/搜索引擎之一,不过Yahoo在收购它之后所推出内置在新闻搜索中的Blog搜索功能却让Blogger们感觉有那么些不伦不类。

News Corp.收购Intermix
6亿美元,默多克买下了Intermix及其投资的MySpace。MySpace是运作最成功的社会性网络服务之一。它和LiveJournal差不多,都聚集了数量巨大的忠实用户(Blogger),而它的网站浏览量甚至能超越Google!我们倒要看看默多克这个资本高手怎么来玩转互联网。

AOL收购Weblogs Inc.
Weblogs Inc.曾经是在商业上最成功的Blog Network之一,它最后会不会汇在AOL手里,我们只能拭目以待了。

VeriSign收购Weblogs.com,eBay收购VerSign
这是一个典型的大鱼吃小鱼,小鱼吃虾米的游戏。转来转去,Weblogs这个目前仍是最重要的Blog Ping服务进了eBay这条大鱼的肚子里。 Weblogs.com原来的主人Dave Winer可能是这桩买卖中最开心的人,丢掉了一个大负担,又可以拿着200多万美元做想做的事情。

Yahoo收购Del.icio.us
Yahoo在年末又给我们带来了一颗重磅炸弹。Del.icio.us是Online Bookmark甚至是整个Web2.0的始祖。Yahoo对它的收购最终会产生什么样的效果还不得而知,不过收购之后Del.icio.us的两次长时间宕机却让用户们多少有一点不爽。
