Nice – I’m not a fan of infographics these days, but this one is quite easy on the eye. Thanks, Brian.
Thanks Jose
Nice! One question…. Who are they going to buy next? They just jumped on the social bandwagon with Radiant6. Do you think they will head into the mobile space next?
Over $831M in acquisitions over 5 years! That’s incredible. Very cool infographic Brian! Surprised I didn’t see this circulating sooner…
