Yahoo (NASDAQ:YHOO) shares gain 22% to $219.125 per share as the portal network inks a deal with startup Online Anywhere to bring Yahoo Everywhere to non-Web platforms such as PDAs. Yahoo's move signals the built-in leverage it has with its reach in a multiplier effect with acquisitions GeoCities and Broadcast.com. It also shows the cross-platform ability some Web brands have to move into information and communications mediums in general. I recall in January when many observers thought a media firm would acquire Yahoo that I posited that Yahoo may acquire a media firm.
AOL (NYSE:AOL) agrees to acquire When.com, a Web-based calendar service. Sites are getting stickier but AOL is late to this game. However, AOL has considerable distribution and marketing to make the calendar successful. One reason why I think AOL could be the stock to beat in the Internet. Yahoo a close second. Amazon a close third. AOL was also rumored to be looking to acquire TV network CBS. A good move as media becomes borderless.
Amazon.com (NASDAQ:AMZN) and Wal-Mart settle a lawsuit that Wal-Mart filed against Amazon claiming it hired key Wal-Mart tech wizards who built Wal-Mart's advanced real-time computer inventory network. Amazon said it would re-assign some of the former Wal-Marters in different positions than the jobs they held at Wal-Mart. Amazon will also return information the execs brought with them. I think that's easier said than done: basically it's their brain power that Amazon has, how do you return that? How do you switch off brilliance?
