The last couple of weeks has been all about big companies buying smaller companies, (Google buys DoubleClick and Google buys stocks in Maxthon browser).
Now very reliable rumors has it that Ebay is just about to buy StumbleUpon for the large amount of about 40 – 45 million dollars.
StumbleUpon is a web browser toolbar for users to share website favorites and rate them, giving more popularity to sites that people like and then mark as ”Stumbled”. A very interesting and new concept.
StumbleUpon users say they like it because of the surprising factor in what the next random site to see is when they ”stumble”.
