There were numerous partnerships and acquisitions in the month of May, which included a lot of dollars changing hands. Let's look at some of the major deals that went down this past month

• Ebay Purchases StumbleUpon for $75 million


• FeedBurner Sold! for $100 million to Google


• Google Buys Panoramio, Photo Mapping Software


• Fox Interactive Media (NWS) Acquires Photobucket and Flektor


• Google buys GreenBorder Technologies for more security in Google Apps


• Microsoft buys aQuantive Inc, for 6 billion US dollars


• CBS buys Last.fm


• AOL Buys Mobile Ad Network


• Microsoft Buys CareerBuilder; Google Interested In SimplyHired


• AOL Buys German Ad Server Adtech


• Yahoo Fully Acquires Right Media (April 30th)


• Facebook Partners with Oodle for Classifieds

Google and Microsoft seem to be positioning themselves strategically in order to keep up with each other in the war for Internet dominance. I expect to see this trend of acquisitions continuing strong into the summer.

Do leave a comment if I have missed any major partnerships or purchases.
