We learned via Kelblog that London-based VNU Business Media Europe has taken a majority stake in Silicon.fr for an undisclosed amount. The deal comes a few weeks after it bought The Inquirer, a London-based IT online news tabloid.

Silicon.fr has 100K registered users and has been in business since 2000. VNU itself is the subject of a private equity feeding frenzy with buyout firms currently vying to aquire the company.
