You might recall how Answers.com tried to buy Dictionary.com etc. (all part of Lexico).
Well, that deal went nowhere, but Ask.com did buy Lexico for $100M.
You might be wondering what is happening with Answers.com, well, they’re now trading for $25M.
Nice.

WatchMojo NewsletterEvery time we start a new year, we all make projections, set objectives… etc. Well, it’s half way done. How close are you to achieving your objectives? Are you already making excuses for why those objectives were overly optimistic or why externalities derailed your plans?
All honest questions worth asking…
It’s becoming really hard to be a good CEO blogger… but not because of writers’ block, hell no. I just find that any thing I write is bound to become either a disclaimer-laden post… or on the contrary, something I cannot touch or comment on.
- Viacom vs. Google’s YouTube… can’t really get into that. Viacom is a company we’re in the process of doing a deal with, Google’s YouTube is an existing syndication partner.
- Yahoo!? Lord knows I did enough commenting there, and maybe that explains the lull in talks for a WatchMojo.com video syndication deal, even though we have 1000s of videos already distributed on Y! Video.
- Any management issue might be misconstrued by an employee as an indirect jab (I had an employee acting funny until I realized they thought I was referring to them in a previous post).
- I had a VC ask me if I was referring to them when I mentioned draconian clauses.
Hmm… Funny how on Independence Day Weekend, I am feeling, well, rather shackled.
