Wow! AOL buys HUFFINGTONPOST for $315M

Pretty damn huge blog acquisition. HP knows how to pull them in though and its thoroughly wedded to social media channels.

AOL bought bebo for $850million and bebo was never as big as facebook, so i'm betting if facebook (it never will though) go up for sale, it would fetch a large sum of dollars.... lol

She is one smart cookie.
