The year is coming to an end and the top 10 (or whatever) lists of 2006 are hitting the web like Viagra spam in 2001.
AdAge gives us the top 10 acquisitions of 2006:
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
10 Wired.com by Conde Nast, $25 million
Number 1 on the list is a given one, but I’m not sure I agree with the rest. What do you think?

I would have to say Reddit by Wired was a bigger deal.
Also The Answer by The Nuggets was huuuge in my world.
JotSpot goes for $50 MM while Wired.com goes for only $25 MM?
I quit.
Has JotSpot done anything for any of you out there?
Dude what is Jotspot again?
I tried JotSpot actually (wikis, David). Then I just installed MediaWiki myself…
I figured Jotspot was an uber cool artist creation suite. Damn. I thought Google was doing cool shit. I guess im totally mistaken.
