All Your Web 2.0 Are Belong To Us

We're in the midst of buying Dogg (a Web 2.0 cross between Digg and Dogster "Where Every Dog Has A Webpage"), and you know what? It's a lot of work. Buying up Web 2.0 companies here and there in piecemeal fashion gets old after a while.

It's a lot of work on our Corporate Development team, the Public Relations team, and really isn't that efficient. Plus, it just encourages VCs to pitch us the next "great" company in their portfolio, thereby creating even more work.

Man, the acquisition treadmill is tiring... And expensive!

So after some long discussions with Tim O'Reilly, Michael Arrington, and other Web 2.0 experts, we've decided to just buy Web 2.0.

All of it. All the people, the round cornered boxes, crazy business ideas, and pastel colors.

That's right, just like a trip to Costco, we're buying in bulk and expect to save a lot of cash.

Henceforth, "Yahoo!" will be synonymous with "Web 2.0."

We sincerely hope this will accelerate the move to Web 2.1 or even Web 3.0. This "Web 2.0" thing has gone on long enough.

(Oh, Tim. Sorry about having rename that conference.)
