All deals 2007 in the field of web / technology in the Western market

The past year was characterized by high activity in the field of M & A (mergers and acquisitions) in the technology sector in the Western market. A complete list of Western deals on the purchase of social networks, Internet companies, technology companies, companies engaged in Internet advertising, the production of high-tech equipment, software, cartographic companies and companies related to the gaming industry is presented to your attention.

For each transaction, the name and reference to the company that you bought, the name and reference to the company-buyer, the amount of the transaction (if known, but if there are reliable rumors about the amount of the transaction are indicated, the amounts appearing in the rumors with a corresponding note that it is about rumors), as well as a brief description of the business of the purchased company. Also, for each transaction there is a link to the source (s), in which it is reported.

An interesting trend in transactions for the purchase of Internet companies and social networks is much more than in previous years, the number of relatively small transactions in the amount of $ 5 - 20 million, which suggests that buyers began to track and buy promising startups in the early stages of their work - even before they gained solid capitalization. This allows buyers to save money on acquiring promising projects and make more deals.
