Kaboose Inc., a family focused network of websites, looks to have made a good acquisition here, especially considering that Fox Interactive reportedly offered $5 million dollars for BubbleShare before their deal fell apart. However, as Mark Evans points out, Kaboose Inc. is really just acquiring a great feature, but not really a business that will be sustainable in the coming years. It will definitely be interesting to see how Kaboose Inc. handles BubbleShare in the coming months. [...]
