You forgot Dice buying Slashdot, SourceForge, and FreeCode/FreshMeat for only $20M.

Seems almost insignificant with all the recent acquisitions being in the Billions.

Thought about it, but it seemed so irrelevant compared to the others - not just in its dollar amount, but in what the purchase really entailed. Other purchases/acquisitions seemed to bring in big, new areas to existing corporations. Dice bought itself a dying web forum, a dying collaboration platform, and a now closed-and-out-of-date software information site. A fool and its money are soon parted, I suppose.
