Google Buys Feedburner Moves Closer To Owning The Web
May 24th, 2007 • Related • Filed Under
It's been rumored for days and now confirmed by Techcrunch, Google has indeed bought the RSS Management company Feedburner for $100 million. That's not bad for a company that started only about four years ago with $10 million in startup capital. The deal is an all cash deal and puts Google in a position to stake a sizable claim in the in RSS Advertising market.
What's that mean for you an me? It means we should soon be seeing the ability to inject Adsense into our RSS feeds and Adwords advertisers will have another option for displaying their ads along with the search and content networks.

Yuck, another google stranglehold on the net. someday somebody will outdo google, although that someday may be decades away. By then, there won’t be any regular net — just a giant Google. I wonder how many people are tiring of Google this and Google that. I am.
