Every once in a while you run across a graphic that is so striking you just have to share it. <\/p>\n

The team at Scores.Org<\/strong> and ByJess.Net<\/strong> have done some analysis and have put together a super infographic<\/em> which displays Google’s<\/strong> acquisition appetite over the past several years.<\/p>\n

This chart is definitely worth looking at, both for the information it contains as well as the cleverness of the design.
<\/p>\n

\nThe chart starts all the way back in 2001, and traces some of the best known acquistions of web industry, including Android<\/strong> (November 2005), YouTube<\/strong> (October 2006), DoubleClick<\/strong> (April 2007), Feedburner<\/strong> (June 2007), and of course AdMob<\/strong> (November 2009).<\/p>\n
For each company, the chart gives the date and size of the acquisition as well as indicating which Google productline the technology ended up being included into.<\/p>\n
Scores.Org also provides analysis along two dimensions. <\/p>\n
\n
First is an indication of the main asset that was acquired – either a Market, Technology, or Talent.<\/li>\n
Second is a view as to whether the acquisition was made primarily to grow Google revenues or to cut competitor revenues.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
There are over 75 acquisitions shown on this chart, and it really gives a sense of the pace, the breadth, and the scale of Google’s acquisition activity.<\/p>\n
