I think Microsoft buying Hotmail was also on the list of worst internet acquisitions.

I'd put Yahoo buying egroups and geocities down as two of the best.

Not so sure about the MySpace/News Corp one. The corporate culture is causing the same kind of rift that exists between AOL/Time Warner. Not such a great fit.
