Congratulations to Jason Calacanis for selling Weblogs.com to AOL. Yes, it s true. It s amazing how fast this news is getting around.
Hey, the blog acquisitions aren t over yet. I know of at least one other large deal that is soon to be announced.
Congrats to Rafat and PaidContent.org for getting the scoop.

Oh, and remember a few days back when I said I liked Richard Parsons, AOL s CEO? Well, looks like Jason liked him too. Is AOL gonna come back and rebuild their brand? This is a major step in the right direction.
