AOL advertising buyout

AOL advertising buyout 06/29/2004 03:20 PM
AOL has purchased Advertising.com in an all cash deal to help them to increase their online advertising revenue. Early figures indicate that industry wide website advertising revenue could rise to 6.78 billion by the end of the year. It appears that AOL is becoming less focused on just advertising on their own websites and will be moving on to making their mark on the rest of the internet. It will also be interesting to see how this affects the volume of advertising that already exists on their own portals and websites.

IAC announces Ask Jeeves buyout 03/22/2005 03:32 PM
InterActiveCorp on Monday announced it has agreed to buy the fourth largest search engine in the United States, Ask Jeeves, for $1.85 billion. According to the deal, InterActiveCorp will issue 1.2668 shares of its common stock for each share of Ask Jeeves stock in a tax-free transaction. InterActiveCorp intends to buy back at least 60 percent of the shares it plans to issue for acquisition through previously authorized share repurchase programs to offset a substantial portion of the dilution from the transaction with cash. “Joining IAC will enable us to play on a much larger field," Ask Jeeves CEO Steve Berkowitz said. "We are excited about the opportunity to serve as the connection between IAC’s constellation of leading online properties to share users and content. Ask Jeeves will now be in an even stronger position to aggressively grow market share.”

Google Planning IPO, Microsoft Buyout 10/31/2003 10:36 AM
The New York Times confirms the bad news: Google is planning an IPO. And even worse, they've been discussing a merger with Microsoft. "The company [...] has also explored the idea of a so-called Dutch auction, bypassing Wall Street and selling shares directly to investors. Such an approach could give it distance from scandal-plagued investment banking deals of the dot-com era as well as create a huge base of small shareholders."...

Spam That Tricks Me

Spam That Tricks Me 11/06/2003 04:11 AM
If you get enough spam, I'm sure you know the feeling. As you sort through your mail, deleting the obvious spam, you find one that you're not sure about and you end up opening it - and sure enough, it's spam that tricked you. Every time you do that, you probably feel a little silly for getting tricked. I know I do. Columbia Professor Sree Sreenivasan discusses a few of the messages that tricked him and explains why he was fooled. He's a lot more forgiving than I am, but I get fooled by more than my fair share. Meanwhile, picking up on Sreenivasan's column is another reporter who points out that if any readers want to email him, they need to come up with a subject line that is clearly not spam. I agree. I know there have been a few borderline emails that I opened and turned out to not be spam - but I couldn't tell from the subject lines. I'm sure there are others that I've ended up deleting.

Tricks of the Trade

Tricks of the Trade 08/27/2004 01:33 PM

The Morning News has a fun article on "tricks of the trade": documenting little tricks used in various professions. Great stuff.

This year, for instance, a programmer can always tack the phrase "and I'm thinking of incorporating some XML functionality"¯ onto a project summary to explain why he'll need an extra week, account for a missed deadline, or impress a superior. In this respect, the gap between software engineers and birthday clowns is almost negligible.

Patients will occasionally pretend to be unconscious. A surefire way to find them out is to pick up their hand, hold it above their face, and let go. If they smack themselves, they’re most likely unconscious; if not, they’re faking.
