Buy! Buy! Buy!
There have been a lot of online acquisitions lately. Here is a recap if you missed some of the biggest deals this month:
Google is in the final stages of a deal to purchase Feedburner for $100 million. How much bigger can Google get?
Video blog, Wallstrip liked the Livebait.tv tagline (Where sub-culture meets pop-culture) so much that they copied it for their new tagline — stock culture meets pop culture. Last week they were acquired by CBS.
Amazon.com purchased Dpreview last week. Dpreview is a UK-based digital photography review site. If you’re looking for information on a digital camera, chances are that you’ll end up on this site and read their reviews.

Yes. I noticed that too. I remember watching Wallstrip and thinking wow that music sounds familiar. Then stealing their tag line, how cheesy is that. It’s simular to the story on The Skinny & Rose Show
(http://www.livebait.tv/2007/01/the_skinny_rose_show_3.php#more)
that talks about people taking credit for a directors work by posting his YouTube clip on their web site claiming they made it. What a scam. Livebait.tv was the first to form a syndication deal with Blip.tv. And, Wallstrip followed them. Now because Wallstrip is making $5 million from the sale to CBS Interactive, which is getting a ton of PR, they are the most promoted show on Blip.tv. Livebait doesn’t even get credit for their original creative.
