Wow, isn't this the week for acquisitions?

• NetNewsWire acquired by NewsGator. (And, the man with the drinks has more to say.)

  Congratulations, Brent!

• Upcoming.org acquired by Yahoo!

  Congratulations, Andy, Gordon, and Leonard!

  (Updated! I forgot the other guys at first post!)

I'm not quite sure what to think about all of this yet, but it makes me wish I'd gotten one of my bright ideas launched. :) But, of course, it takes more than just an idea. It takes execution, timing, and hard work to get to where these guys are today.
