As for me it doesn’t seem cool. AOL merged with TimeWarner. Two giants together. Before that AOL had acquired lots of great blogs & news websites. Like Engadget. Don’t ask what for ?To get more spread & ad netwrork. Actually AOL also owns great infrastructure. So does TimeWarner. Then AOL acquired TechCrunch. Yesterday - Huffington Post. Now Michael Arlington is joking about “HuffingCrunch”. Dude, it sucks.
Who’s the competitor ? News Corp ? FML
p.s. Do you remember Social Network movie ? Inventing working place is something really awesome, not acquiring it
