Top 10 Acquisitions of 2006

AdAge has a list of the top acquisitions of 2006. Interesting list, some of the deals don't seem, to me at least, to have the impact worthy of this list but hey all top 10 lists have some opinion to them. It is a good list over all with Google finding it on there 3 times which isn't surprising given the impact they have in the online community.

1. YouTube by Google , $1.65 billion
   
2. Massive by Microsoft, $200 million-$400 million
   
3. Atom Films by Viacom, $200 million
4. DMarc by Google, $102 million
   
5. Xfire by Viacom, $102 million
   
6. Platform by Comcast, $80 million
   
7. Grouper by Sony, $65 million
   
8. JotSpot by Google, $50 million
   
9. Petfinder by Animal Planet, $35 million
