I run the Merger and Acquisition site http://willtheymerge.com . As an investor of Merger and Acquisition deals I was always trying to find a site that monitors publicly traded M&amp;A deals. I could not find one that was not charging for the service so I started my own site. The site wont tell you if the deal will be successful or not but is a great resource for the terms of publicly traded mergers and acquisition deals. The site also maintains spreads between the value of consideration and current price.  </subtitle><id>http://www.zecco.com/blogs/pace2001_blog/atom.aspx</id><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://www.zecco.com/blogs/pace2001_blog/default.aspx" /><link rel="self" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.zecco.com/blogs/pace2001_blog/atom.aspx" /><generator uri="http://communityserver.org" version="2.0.60217.2664">Community Server</generator><updated>2008-05-01T05:35:00Z</updated><entry><title>Clicking together…CBS and CNET links $1.8 billion deal.</title><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://www.zecco.com/blogs/pace2001_blog/Clicking-togetherCBS-and-CNET-links.aspx" /><id>http://www.zecco.com/blogs/pace2001_blog/Clicking-togetherCBS-and-CNET-links.aspx</id><published>2008-05-16T03:15:00Z</published><updated>2008-05-16T03:15:00Z</updated><content type="html">CBS Corporation, the media giant that operates in every field of media including broadcast television, radio, outdoor advertising, and publishing, agreed to buy leading web publisher CNET Networks for $1.8 billion.
