More Merger Rumors – Xuqa, Dovetail, Zooomr
But there are lots of other deals being whispered about as well. Here’s a smattering of the rumors we’ve been hearing lately:
Zooomr: Founder Kristopher Tate has been saying for weeks that Zooomr is on the verge of a sale. Kodak may be the interested party. Estimated deal size? Less than $5 million. TechCrunch coverage here.
DoveTail: A new video sharing startup that has had some good coverage in the Wall Street Journal and GigaOm. Word on the street is that a deal is imminent, if not signed already. Hopefully we’ll have a chance to write a profile before the news hits.
Xuqa: Multiple sources are saying a sale of Xuqa, a social network that claims to be profitable, might be coming in the $30 million range. Sounds like the company has at least one firm offer and a couple of other bidders.
More on these if and when they develop.
