Social Media Consolidation Act ??? 6 & 7 ?: NewsGator buys NetNewsWire and Yahoo gets Upcoming.org

I have not been counting precisely, but assuming that the MySpace acquisition was act 5 of the Social Media consolidation, Act 6 & 7 were announced today:

• Broadly expected, NetNewsWire’s maker was acquired by NewsGator – here is Greg Reinacker’s announcement. This makes a lot of sense since it brings the leading Mac OSX RSS aggregator into the NewsGator/FeedDemon mix.
• More surprising, Upcoming.org was acquired by Yahoo, bringing the 3 founders of the company on board. I need to try the service again since I was not too impressed the first (and only) time I used it. Andy (aka Waxy.org) writes about the deal, and so does Paul Levine, the GM of Yahoo Local.

No disclosure of terms in either case.
