HuffPo/AOL Deal: On Second Thought … Hell, No, It Still Doesn’t Make Any Sense

After this morning’s stunning news that AOL had agreed to pay more than $300 million to buy the Huffington Post, I tried to find some argument to justify the deal. Honest, I did. I even read Felix Salmon’s analysis at Reuters: The $315 million that AOL is paying for the Huffington Post is roughly 3X […]

AOL Pays $315 Million for HuffPo

Curiouser and curiouser: The Huffington Post, which began in 2005 with a meager $1 million investment and has grown into one of the most heavily visited news Web sites in the country, is being acquired by AOL in a deal that creates an unlikely pairing of two online media giants.

‘The End of Blogging’? No, It Just Proves That Nothing Succeeds Like Success

Elizabeth Spiers is taking over as editor-in-chief of the New York Observer — a minor blip of media news that is rather more significant than it would appear at first glance. Earlier this week, the Observer ran a long article entitled, “The End of Blogging,” a grabby title that misinterprets the changes that are actually […]

Fun With Lizards

There’s all kinds of news I need to be blogging about today, but offline duties intervened and — as much as I know it bores most of you — I just had to call attention to the latest in Johnsonoid craziness. Charles Johnson went on a rant about “stalkers and dimwitted creeps” — a rant thoroughly […]
