If you like to keep track of your friendly neighborhood media conglomerates, and what smaller companies they have recently swallowed into their great, yawning maw, next you need to download Who Owns What v2.1.

Who Owns What is a printable chart (PDF) that tracks the recent acquisitions of a number of large companies: Yahoo!, Google, Microsoft, AOL, News Corporation, and IAC. Looking at the chart, you’ll see that every company seems to have fingers in a lot of pies: everything from travel to search engines to dating sites

is represented.

The longest list award goes to, you guessed it, Google.

One caveat: the chart is not completely exhaustive. The creator, Amy Webb of MyDigiMedia, figured that whether the chart was complete, there would be no way to print it out. And yes, she does want us to print it out, in order to constantly remind ourselves that “this digital stuff isn’t going away.”
