About a week ago Tech Crunch claimed that Huffpo is in play, and likely to be purchased by Yahoo. Well, it's not exactly new news, and Arianna is denying it today: http://blogs.wsj.com/digits/2010/06/08/huffington-post-not-for-sale-co-founder-says/
Although nobody is quite certain if The Huffington is still a blog, as it has lost most of the traditional characteristics of a blog, it's very interesting and important to the grand daddy of blogs on the blog for a potential mega sale. This is encouraging news for all those out there writing blogs with hopes of one day hitting it big.
I've been trying to hit it big in the blogosphere for 3 years from the ad side of the business. We'll have to see, hope and pray that there's some active M&A here in the blogosphere in late 2010 or perhaps 2011.
Here's the original post from Erick @ TechCrunch: http://techcrunch.com/2010/06/04/yahoo-huffpo/
