Good speculative piece by Rick Aristotle Munarriz over at Motley Fool on what Google might acquire with all that cash they’ve collected. Rick’s picks include
iVillage, AOL, CNET, Tivo and The Knot (what, no Knight-Ridder?) and his conclusion is that Google has the cash to buy’em all if they choose.
Would they? Who knows?

Update: thanks, bleh.

My only argument is that at no point has Google ever purchased a company that’s a portal or a content creator. They’ve bought tools, but that’s it.
An established portal makes sense — AOL, for instance. But frankly, if anybody buys Knight-Ridder, I’d put my money on Yahoo. I just don’t see a company that leaves news editorial to an algorithm buying a company that actually pays people to produce and manage content.
Correction – the site is memeorandum and the link is http://tech.memeorandum.com – memorandum is unfortunately a spam site :(
jackson,that sounds right to me.
