A nice Boston Marathon yesterday, capping off a great weekend.
After shedding it’s dating businesses, Think Partnerships is out of the dating game. To celebrate, they went out and bought IceRocket, a blog search engine. IceRocket is owned by Mark Cuban, owner of the Dallas Mavericks.
Ice Rocket CEO Blake Rhodes:
We have spent significant time evaluating many opportunities within the interactive marketing and advertising space, and have concluded that Think Partnership was clearly positioned as one of the premier companies in our market as well as being a leading edge technology based company with the resources to execute on this exciting opportunity.
My conclusion based on the side-by-side blog search engine tests I did this morning is that Icerocket has a long way to go before it’s considered delivering authoritative results. Think obviously couldn’t afford Technorati, the leader in the blog search field, which I think will be picked up by Yahoo, NewsCorp or a similar company at some point this year.
