Ziff Davis Acquires TechBargains.com

Ziff Davis, the publishing arm of Los Angeles-based Internet services firm j2 Global, said Tuesday that it has acquired deal aggregation site TechBargains.com, from Exponential Interactive. Financial terms of the acquisition were not anounced. According to Ziff Davis, the financial impact to j2 Global was not expected to be material to the company.
