I just got an email of confirmation from Alex Sirota that Foxytunes (one of my favourite FireFox add on) has been acquired by Yahoo. Michael from techcrunch first heard the rumor a couple of weeks ago and this is now official (i wrote a note about it here). The amount is undisclosed.
The situation is awkward though. Yahoo is announcing an acquisition as they are being themselves the target of an acquisition (that is still not done btw).
Mazal Tov to Alex and Vitaly, two great guys i had the pleasure to meet several times.
i just had the time to write a quick note on TechCrunch.com
After Quigo, Yedda, Foxytunes adds another name in the list of israeli internet startups recently acquired
Interesting to read, I'd never heard of that Firefox addon before. With the Yahoo! and Microsoft merger, who knows when the acquiring will end!
