What could be more Web 2.0-ish than Steve Ballmer making a public pitch to would-be deal makers to pick up the phone? Speaking at the Web 2.0 Summit in San Francisco on Thursday, Microsoft's CEO said his company was on the prowl for acquisitions that made strategic sense.

"We'll buy 20 companies a year consistently for the next five years for anywhere between 50 million and 1 billion bucks." | ||

| BTW, I have lost track of how many companies Google has bought this past year. Last week was the most recent one. The month before that was Grand Central. It's never ending. |

| Google is suffering from a severe case of too much cash not enough experience. |
