Yet another BT company bites the hook: Yahoo! Acquires BlueLithium

So, another Behavioural Targeting company bites the hook. Yahoo! announced yesterday that it reached an agreement to buy BlueLithium for roughly $300 Million in cash (£150 Million), apparently making Gurbaksh Chahal, BlueLithium’s Chairman and CEO, a very happy man at 25.

    [...] But Yahoo isn’t just a lifestyle brand. It was also gearing up to online advertising in a big way, and has been doing so for a while with even more acquisitions that started with Overture in 2003 and followed by TeRespondo (brazilian ad network), AdInterax and more recently RightMedia and BlueLithium.
