CNN Money and the San Diego Business Journal quoted Visual Sciences yesterday:
“Multiple parties” have expressed interest in buying the company, Visual Sciences said in a statement released after the trading day ended July 12. The company did not release the names of the parties that made offers to buy the company, and said the unsolicited offers came “in recent weeks.”
Who might be interested in Visual Sciences? Yahoo ? Microsoft?

Could it be yet another acquisition by the far superior Omniture?
They did sell an additional $126 million in stocks a month or so ago to raise additional venture capital.

For Omniture it probably would make sense and their pricing was always pretty similiar, which always made me wonder if they already worked together.
But do they really have the money to take over their biggest competitor? I am still betting on Yahoo, which currently doesn’t have much to offer and is unlike Microsoft not developing an own web analytics solution. Additionally with the acquisition of Right Media, they have a big client database, who should be interested in Visual Sciences.
