Inktomi Buys Impulse Buy
from the more-consolidation dept
Today Inktomi announced that they are acquiring ImpulseBuy. Looks like Inktomi is using the acquisition method of expanding their services. I guess it makes sense to bundle into their shopping services, though, I wonder how they'll do the integration. I definitely think it's a good move for Impulse Buy, who made $113 million on the deal, and who didn't seem to stand much of a chance of surviving on their own.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
