was just messing around and wondering when Dealtime/Shopping.com were gonna bring the brand over to the UK.

so I type in [uk.shopping.com...] and looks whats there ;)

Nice find. I think that Shopping.com/Dealtime are on a bit of a distribution push at the moment. Perhaps it is the Yahoo purchase of Kelkoo that has them a little worried.

Should we expect MSN to attempt to buy Shopping.com as a counter to Yahoo?

Does an IPO preclude a buyout, or at least the purchase of a controlling share of the stocks?

[Bobby_Davro]

That was a genuine question - I am not sure how these things work with public companies.

I think they are only selling around 25% of the shares in the IPO so in theory another company could buy a majority stake without having to buy any of the shares back that will be issued in the IPO.

Just typed in www.shopping.com from the UK and was geo-targeted to uk.shopping.com
