Gossip, the perfect gift this Christmas
It seems the perfect gift this Christmas is gossip. Poor Opera has been rumored to be bought so many times to be humorus. Like this quote from OperaWatch:
Given the recent surge in acquisition rumors (first Google, and now Microsoft), I thought it would be nice to see which company Opera Watch readers think will be in the next rumor claiming that it will purchase Opera.
- Yahoo (Yahoopera)
- Apple (Appera)
- Nokia (Nopera)
- McDonald’s (McDopera)
- Other
Oddly enough, McDonald’s is voted top. Who’d a thunk it?
But this makes a point of how quickly rumors spread on the net now, with slashdot becoming just some gossip list. What do you think about this? Should the web just be a gossip hive? Was the web intended to be used this way? And is it acceptable to spead such rumors without truth?

UPDATE:
Seems there has been progress, Opera has bought Opera! Who would have thought! 
Analysts value the deal at 42 liters of hot air, the estimated net worth of the blogosphere’s journalistic abilities.
