Google Buys DoubleClick For $3.1 Billion
Google agreed to its largest acquisition yesterday, reaching a deal to purchase DoubleClick, the online advertising company, from two private equity firms for $3.1 billion in cash, almost double what it paid for YouTube last year. And perhaps just as important, the deal kept DoubleClick from the hands of Microsoft. For Google, the purchase is another step in its transformation from a search engine into an advertising powerhouse. DoubleClick, which is based in New York City, specializes in software for display advertising and has close relationships with Web publishers, advertisers and advertising agencies. �It�s the two juggernauts in search and display getting together,� said Martin Reidy, president of Modem Media, an ad agency in the Publicis Groupe.
Wahine flag sold in online auction
A flag said to have come from the stricken Wahine passenger ferry has been sold in an internet auction for more than $5,000. Fifty-one people died when the Wahine capsized after striking Barretts Reef at the entrance to Wellington Harbour in April 1968. The flag and a witnessed affadavit of its recovery were listed on the internet auction site Trademe with a reserve price of $5,000. In the affadavit, the owner says he found the flag on the shoreline in Eastbourne the day after the Wahine sank, while helping police in their search efforts. The auction generated a last-minute bidding war, and the flag finally sold for $5,200. .
