Omniture just bought Visual Sciences for $394M. Congratulations to all involved. It will be very interesting to see how this plays out for clients, prospects, and the entire industry but exciting times indeed.
I sure am glad I predicted industry consolidation by the end of the decade back when I worked for JupiterResearch.
