Company acquisitions and mergers

In the life of a company, big or small, in one chapter, they would be acquired or merged into a larger company for something to ideally benefit both or multiple entities together.
As such, it is imperative to archive the websites, sub-subdomains of said websites, and social media presences of said acquired companies because:
* The content is subject to:
** Being changed or altered
*** Something as simple as adding an announcement to say that they've been acquired is a difference between a company's website pre-bought and a company's website post-bought.
** Being removed
*** In most instances, the acquired companies would have their website domains be redirected to the company's website that is responsible for the acquisition; For example, http://www.permabit.com/ redirects to https://www.redhat.com/en/about/press-releases/red-hat-acquires-permabit-assets-eases-barriers-cloud-portability-data-deduplication-technology?sc_cid=701f2000000RTVRAA4 because Permabit was acquired by Red Hat in 2017 July.
*** In certain instances, an acquired company's content of their internet presence is subject to removal, partially or fully; For example, on 2020 March 31, with Dark Sky (weather app) being acquired by Apple, the acquired company's sub-domain, https://blog.darksky.net/ has deleted all of their blog posts except for the announcement of being acquired; compare with https://web.archive.org/web/20200309082304/https://blog.darksky.net/ (last snapshot pre-announcement) to https://web.archive.org/web/20200331173201/https://blog.darksky.net/ (snapshot of post-announcement).
There are two ways of finding companies being acquired or merged to another company:
* 1) Make a web search query with phrases or keywords through a web search engine
** Advantages
*** Smaller or more obscure company acquisitions are more likely to be found, often found from the acquired company's websites or social media accounts.
** Disadvantages
*** The amount of unrelated or mislabeled content when searching is higher than normal, as it is one of the quirks of web search engines displaying results through a countless series of algorithms.
** Here are a list of commonly used keywords and phrases to use to make a search query:
*** acquire
*** acquired
*** acquisition
*** bought out
*** merger
*** merging
*** -sports
**** It's recommended to use this line as part of the search query since without this phrase, the search attempt will bring up results of sport players being traded or joining a team; However, this may remove results on sports-oriented company acquisitions or mergers.
* 2) Browse through articles or press releases from various sources
** Advantages
*** The amount of unrelated or mislabeled content when searching is lower than normal, with some websites due to curation or verification.
** Disadvantages
*** Smaller or more obscure company acquisitions are unlikely to be covered by more larger resources.
