For the past 2 years, the WatchMojo.com family has tried hard to get leading thinkers, technorati and pillars of the financial community to respect content creators.

Obviously, this post is in jest, but too bad NYT settled its differences with Harbinger.
Jana Partners is hounding CNET… They own 25% of the outstanding stock.

Here’s a crazy idea: why not merge? I know this has […]

Yahoo!’s message to marketers: “do as we say, not as we do”
Yahoo! will only win in search if

Dare we say it? If 1995-99 marks the period known as the dot com bubble - or Bubble 1.0 - can we say that 2004-08 is Bubble 2.0?
We all agree that the bubble burst with the Nasdaq crashing from its March 2000 high. We all also agree that the nuclear winter of 2001-03 […]

For the longest time, I’ve been hinting at private equity firms to give me a call so we can rescue Yahoo! That might happen, it might not. But to pull that off, you need a good $40B or so. With Yahoo! at $25B - and reporting earnings as we speak - it […]

So I leave this morning on an in-and-out flight to Boston and what do I miss?
As Facebook Turns:
As one more Googler quits to join Facebook, Google is looking to crash MSFT’s party, but not before Yahoo! is considering one more run at the hot social networking site that is suddenly less hot than the previous month […]

Thanks to the stronger Canadian currency, turns out the Globe and Mail’s Mathew Ingram bought both Google and TechMeme recently.
What on earth am I talking about? Read this: Mathew has taken over TechMeme and Google.

So I venture off to TechMeme to learn more about YHOO’s acquisition of Buzztracker, thinking it would be a good foundation to pen something on determining price for a startup, etc. I see fellow stock market investor Howard Lindzon chiming in on the deal, so I click through to his site.
My eyes veer off to […]
