Google, Yahoo, and Microsoft Acquisition Timeline

If you're overwhelmed by the number of acquisitions that Google, Yahoo, and Microsoft have collectively undertaken, then this timeline by Peter Abilla will help you sort it all out (our previous post linked to a Google-only timeline). You can see by scrolling that by 2005, the Big Three were buying companies left and right, coinciding with the rise of Web 2.0. Every month featured an acquisition whereas in previous years, June or July tended to be quiet periods. The bubble seems to be inflating again, slowly.
