About 10 days ago, BoomTown posted a piece titled, "With a King’s Ransom in Cash, Why Is There Still No Buying Spree in the Tech Space Yet?"

Noting the big cash hordes being held by a plethora of giant tech and Internet companies and their strong cash flow too, even in the midst of the economic meltdown-I wondered when the mergers and acquisitions would ever begin.

The answer was two-fold: No one wants to buy when prices could just keep going down. And no one wants to sell at all-time lows.

Another issue? While public companies have a market value, as low as they might be, noted a prominent Internet player, the bulk of tasty private ones no longer have a set price, since there have been no sales of late.

Well, that just won’t do! So, in the interests of jumpstarting the economy-I mean, there are investment bankers out there running low on caviar and Dom, folks!-here are three suggestions for interesting deals.
