Yahoo! buys WebJay, AOL gets Truveo
The first two big web
acquisitions of the year have been announced, and they're both media purchases. On Monday Yahoo! announced its acquisition of social playlist site WebJay, followed swiftly by AOL which
bought video search site
Truveo. Some are calling the latter a betrayal of
Google, which recently bought 5% of AOL and which has a video search service of its own.[Via O'Reilly Radar and Jason Calacanis]
