Upcoming.org, a kind of social software, wiki like, folksonomy based, event website, that i’ve blogged about before has just been bought by yahoo.
I’ve got to tell you yahoo seems to be getting the jump on google for some of these aquasitions IMHO. so far yahoo’s got flickr.com and upcoming.org, google got dodgeball.com.
Yahoo Buys Upcoming.org to Bolster Local Search Ôø? MarketingVOX
Just a note on acquiring these small, blogcentric, social software apps, is that they are really easy to integrate, relatively speaking. The oracle buying peoplesoft is a freaking nightmare from a software integration standpoint compared to yahoo buying flickr for instance.
