It may be slow, but I think there is more immediate value there than in the mosh pit junkies. Hell at $17 billion how fast can you be? I think you are underplaying the Thomson/Reuters merger.

Other than some acquired companies (including the startup I worked at) they were pretty flat and out of places to get new revenue without some sort of major sea change. Actually the Acxiom bid seems below market value-- I wouldn't be surprised to see a competing bid from someone like Dunn & Bradstreet or maybe even someone like Experian.

Brad it was an 85% premium on the stock price... and feels like some of the deals that led to the 1.0 bubble. Call me paranoid, but let's hope the market continues down a path of sanity and these deals don't morph into Dotcom 2.0. Congrats to the aQuantive team, for sure. :) This stuff makes me nervous.
