Great post by Adam Mills in The Web Review listing 2005 Acquisitions by Google, eBay, Yahoo, IAC, AOL, NewsCorp etc in the web 2.0 space, including Urchin, Flickr, Blo.gs, Gumtree etc

Urchin looks like a real bargain for Google at $30M, they have decimated the competition and really added to their webmaster suite of services by making it free and calling it Google Analytics! Smart move, although demand has overwhelmed them I think and it could be another step in the GGE campaign (Google Gets Evil).

Other transactions worth looking at in 2005 from a UK perspective include old line media company purchases of classifieds sites like smartnewhomes, primelocation, findaproperty in real estate and also in jobs. These guys are one step behind though.

Anyone got any interesting info on the "undisclosed" transaction amounts?
