"Google Inc.’s (GOOG) announcement that it will buy AdMob Inc. for $750 million brought a media spotlight on Accel Partners, an investor in both AdMob and Playfish Inc., which said today it will sell to Electronic Arts Inc. (ERTS) for at least $275 million. Several blogs, including this one, hailed Accel Partners for its impressive and quick investment returns at a time when deals like these are hard to come by.
But AdMob’s founder and CEO, Omar Hamoui, really deserves the attention for building a company that in three years became the largest player of mobile Web ads and ultimately, a coveted jewel for the largest Internet company."

Comment: And yet Blinkx shareholders see no evidence whatsoever that the company is even remotely interested in mobile (evidence? No iPhone app. No mobile apps or deals of any kind so far as we are aware).
Still, as long as there's deals like BobVila.com out there waiting to be done, why worry, eh?
