Google's shopping list

Google thinks big these days. Here are the top 50 web properties according to ComScore, in order of importance (comscore.com/press/release.asp):

  1. Yahoo (probably too expensive)
  2. Time Warner
  3. Google [x]
  4. Microsoft (may lead to monopoly issues)
  5. Fox
  6. eBay (expensive but can be considered)
  7. Wikipedia [Wikipedia founder says "no" to this deal)
  8. Amazon (can be considered)
  9. Ask Network (not interested)
  10. New York Times (Nice option, though news has always been a neglected child)
  11. Weather Channel (can be clubbed with news)
  12. Viacom
  13. Apple
  14. CNET (same as NYT above)
  15. Adobe (why not)
  16. Gorilla Nation
  17. Wal-Mart
  18. AT&T
  19. Target Corporation
  20. Expedia
  21. United Online, Inc.
  22. Facebook (extension to orkut)
  23. Lycos
  24. Monster Worldwide (may make a sense)
  25. CBS Corporation
  26. Verizon Communications Corporation
  27. Bank of America
