Yahoo to Acquire Not-yet-started Business

by on January 13th, 2006

In the interest of keeping Fridays light, here’s a story about Yahoo’s continued acquisition acceleration. According to the story, Yahoo is about to acquire a yet-to-be started, yet-to-be-named company that has a yet-to-be-determined business plan. :)

It’s all about Web 2.0 after all.

Would-Have-Been-Founder Tad Pohl joins Yahoo! Search Marketing as Head Associate of Typo Correction. “I initially thought I was just being offered a job,” he said, “but Yahoo saw the possibilities in the company I was thinking about building while waiting to get into a World of Warcraft battleground.” Yahoo! has acquired all intellectual property of the acquired not-yet-company, which includes “something about tags and RSS and maybe a mashup with Google Maps - plus a pretty sweet idea for a lower-case pastel-colored logo.”
