This has to be an error… Or perhaps an April Fool?
While rummaging through my newsfeed and tips today, I found the following quote from Mediapost.com in —
New Ad Models Take Flight — with an intro by
Adam Herman, and the sub-article in question — Social Networking Promises Value of Peer-to-Peer, Viral, Behavioral,
Contextual, and Search — By Kate Kaye.
In which Kate Kaye says, and I quote:
Owned by TV mogul Barry Diller, InterActiveCorp has also snapped up Tribe.net, Match.com, and Evite.
HUH? Does Mark Pincus know that Barry Diller has "snapped up Tribe.net"?!?! I know that one of Barry Diller's execs expressed an interest in the Tribe.net business model a while back — around the time of announcing InterActiveCorp's plan to acquire ZeroDegrees. Does Kate Kaye have prescience? (-:=
And of course this is an error… So says Mark Pincus… But it certainly would make sense for Diller to at least attempt to acquire Tribe.net…
1. I wondered the same thing..where did that come from? ...Out of no where. My notes around to my inner circle, were akin to "Type O?"
