Top Tech Acquisitions

2009 featured a number of interesting acquisitions that will certainly shape our industry in the coming year(s). Above are the top-15 largest technology (web/software/hardware/mobile) acquisitions from the past year. We're talking some major 0's here.

The list is full of interesting deals, including Amazon's purchase of Zappos (#14) & Adobe's purchase of web analytics company Omniture (#11). Further down on the full list is Google's purchase of mobile ad network AdMob. With so much cash being thrown around toward the end of '09, Google's recent failed attempt to acquire local-review site Yelp (a deal we were really excited about) for $500M barely would have scratched the top-30.

So which deal do you think will have the biggest impact?
