I don't see a pattern, I see a struggling company trying to remain competitive buying all it can get away with and seeing what sticks. Hope it works out well for them. If anything, these small companies can bring a new air to an old behemoth.

But what struck me was that they bought Tumblr, Jybe, Snip.it, Alike and Summly this year alone and they're all "social" as well as Ztelic, which is "social analytics" (whatever that means) from China. They also bought GhostBird for mobile photography. In one year, they made acquisitions that were very mobile, social and analytics heavy so "social" is very much in their future path somehow.
