VNU’s European arm has made another small online acquisition: London-based VNU Business Media Europe has taken a majority stake in Silicon.fr for an undisclosed amount. Silicon.fr is a French technology news site which used to be affiliated with UK-based Silicon.com, which itself was sold to CNET two years ago.

The deal comes a few weeks after it bought The Inquirer, a London-based IT online news tabloid.

The release in French is here.
