Newscorp Acquiring RockYou?
Yesterday, Valleywag posted about an anonymous tipster that said that RockYou is getting acquired by Myspace. This afternoon I was informed by another person (unrelated to the Valleywag post) that RockYou is being bought out for between $300 and $500 million, with earnouts that could push the $600 to $650 million range. I am working on a confirmation source right now but the fact that I received this from someone not associated with yesterday’s Valleywag post makes me think something will be announced soon.
I had previously suggested that Google or Microsoft should purchase RockYou or Slide to gain greater access to Facebook but it looks like Rupert Murdoch may be the fish that bites.
