Am I the only one who wonders where the hell all this money comes from to keep funding the never ending acquisitions of companies such as Google and Yahoo? This particular rant was brought on by the news today that Yahoo is about to blow $300 million to acquire ad network BlueLithium. OK, we all know it's about getting that "Big Foot" toe in the door of the Internet ad market. But in the Yahoo press release it states that BlueLithium, founded in 2004, is "the fifth largest ad network in the US." Which means exactly what? After Google, everything else is not just trailing... It's out of sight! But that's what I love about these "New Media" companies, they are now blowing money like all the dot com's did in the late nineties... And we all know what happened to the vast majority of those, don't we? As Yogi once said... "It's like deja vu, all over again." Damn right Yogi!

Well, in a nutshell, I think you have it!
